Is plywood hardwood or softwood wood?
There are both softwood plywoods (made from either Southern yellow pine or Douglas fir) and hardwood plywoods. Hardwood plywood comes in four types: poplar plywood, which is poplar all the way through; MDF core, which has veneers of hardwood glued to the faces of MDF; veneer core, which is poplar plywood with veneers of higher-cost hardwoods glued to the faces; and marine hardwood, which is high-strength hardwood all the way through. The last one is very expensive, and hard to find.

If you run into oak "marine plywood" all the plies are made from oak. Oak is extremely hard to make into good plywood cores because it is so hard, so oak marine plywood is really expensive.
