This plywood is a functional grade material composed of birch from parts of Russia and Finland. It differs from Finnish Birch Plywood in that it does not use an exterior glue and the plies in the lay-up are of lesser quality making the Baltic birch less expensive.

The Baltic birch is graded as a B-BB, which means that one face, B, will be a whole face, no splices, have no patches (plugs that are used to cover defects) but may contain knot pattern or mineral streaks. The other face, BB, and the inner plies will contain patches and tight and not so tight knots. Baltic Birch Plywood is an excellent material for cabinet backs, drawer sides and bottoms, as well as jigs and fixtures and scroll saw work that will be painted.

Sheets measure 12" x 48". Grain may run in either direction on the face of the sheet.

Baltic Birch Plywood The front, back and inner plies are quality one-piece plies. Highly decorative, exceptional strength and great screw holding power. May include matched face plugs. .. Baltic Birch Plywood
