You mean luan... Luan is a lighter, and cheaper, wood product than plywood.
Plywood is made up of 3, 5, or 7 plys of wood shaved off a log and glued together with each layer having the grain running in opposite directions for strength and stability.
Luan is made up of two outer layers of wood shaved similar to plywood. The big difference is the core of the product which seems to be an end grain slice of wood which is just a filler to make the product the appropriate thickness but doesn't add much strength. Luan is generally made of softer wood than plywood, but is has a much smoother, sanded, surface than plywood.
Bottom line, its cheaper than 1/4" plywood, smoother surface, and strong enough for Vex.
