This study was developed to evaluate the quality of plywood produced from  Melia  azedarach  in combination with  Pinus  taeda , glued with urea-formaldehyde resin (UF) and phenol formaldehyde (PF). Panels were produced using five veneers of  Melia  azedarach  only, five veneers of  Pinus  taeda  and also with faces made of  Melia  azedarach  and core with  Pinus  taeda . The panels were evaluated by glue line shear tests and by static bending in parallel and perpendicular directions. The higher contents of extractives in  Melia  azedarach  wood did not reduce the glue line shear strength between the layers. For both UF and PF glues, panels produced with veneers of  Melia  azedarach  showed better results on static bending and glue line shear tests. The results indicate great potential of  Melia  azedarach  wood in plywood production, both for internal use (UF), and for external use (PF). Keywords : Cinamomo; wood veneer; glue line.
