Given that there are dozens of different kinds of wood, all of various hardnesses, one should define "regular wood" when asking such a question. Regardless, the short answer to your question is "no." California Redwood is a very soft wood, which is rated at about 400 on the Janka Hardness Scale, and Brazillian Ebony is one of the hardest woods, rated at about 3,700 on the Janka Hardness Scale. By comparison, most plywood is made of birch and/or mahogany, which are rated at about 1,300 and 2,200, repsectively. The hardest plywood is sometimes made of teak, which is rated at about 3,500, which falls short of Brazillian Ebony by about 200 points on the Janka Hardness Scale.
