Plywerk has perfected an easy and elegant way to exhibit prints of artwork and photos without the frame or its expense. Their photofinishing process will enhance your pictures and avoid the headache of framing.

A Brief History In Portland...
Plywerk began in the dark, damp recesses of Kim Nguyen's and Kjell van Zoen's basement in Northwest Portland. Kim, a photographer, needing to mount a photo, grabbed a piece of discarded plywood from the aforementioned dark, cold--really just plain dreary--basement and glued a photo to it. A light bulb beamed from atop the self-professed frugal entrepreneur Kjell's head, temporarily blinding his wife Kim. But from that one piece of disposable wood, a sustainable Ma and Pa business was formed.
They began selling their modern artisanal and earth friendly wares at local art walks, moving up to the big time of the Portland Saturday Market. There they met like-minded artists and together they succeeded in opening up a co-op shop of their very own called Splurge on Lower Fremont.
Since their claustrophobic basement (it was seriously a small basement) beginnings in 2006, Plywerk has grown in size and demand. By adding friend and colleague Johnny Zeigler in 2007, Plywerk continues its desire to branch out to not only fill the demand for their product, but to strengthen their bond with other Portland artists and businesses. They are part of this local economy and know that their growth means the growth of their partners and their community.

Plywerk panel
Plywerk panels are plywood panels utilizing a keyhole slot on the back for easy hanging. The maple plywood is a cabinet quality ½" solid birch/alder core with maple face veneer. It is FSC certified to ensure the wood is manufactured using environmentally sustainable practices. The bamboo Plywood is ¾" carbonized vertical grain bamboo. Bamboo is a grass and it's fast growth makes it a very sustainable material.
transparent PH neutral adhesive
Transparent PH neutral adhesive protects the images from the natural acids in the wood and provides an extremely reliable bond between the images and the Plywerk panel.
image
Images are printed on Fuji and Kodak silver-halide papers. Besides the superior color reproduction these prints have excellent ozone resistance to ensure superior lightfastness (resistance to fading).
UV laminate
UV laminates provide the finishing attributes of Plywerk with a UV and water resisting surface.
