Our baltic birch plywood is inexpensive, stable, holds screws exceptionally well, and is made with waterproof glue so you can use it in a wide variety of projects. Superior to MDF in external applications and only slightly better in interior ones, birch plywood can provide you with more options than other composites.
Baltic Birch plywood is a type of plywood known for its exceptional strength, durability, and versatility. It is made from multiple layers of thin birch veneers that are cross-bonded, resulting in a sturdy and stable panel with a smooth, uniform surface.
We stock grade B/BB Birch plywood for CNC machining, which is the second-highest grade available. You might be thinking, “why not the highest grade?” Here’s why: The highest grade and the second-highest grade are extremely close in applicable usages, but by stepping down a grade, we pass tons of savings onto you with essentially no loss in quality.
You’ll find that our custom laser cut/CNC cut birch plywood is beautiful to look at, carrying a bright, clean finish as well as a uniform grain. Multiple layers of birch veneer make it sturdy enough to give your project strength while also being lower cost than typical hardwoods and softwoods.
If you need strength and stability on a budget for your work, this is the material for you.
