In this research the spruce plywood board and combined spruce-beech plywood board were prepared in laboratory conditions using two levels of processing pressure. The bending properties in perpendicular and longitudinal direction were measured and compressibility and density were specified. Considering the obtained results, there was found an overall increase of the bending properties in spruce plywood manufactured by the higher pressure and a decline of properties perpendicular to the grain in combined spruce-beech plywood board. On the other hand, combined spruce-beech plywood boards produced by the common processing pressure performed better than both types of spruce plywood.
