3/4" 4x8 Baltic Birch plywood is $160 CDN. It's also rarely available.
Regular birch (also 3/4" 4x8) is now $100 - up from $60 a few months ago.
I have a chance to buy for $60 CDN -
- Vietnamese-made
- 3/4" 4x8
- birch exterior veneers
- eucalyptus interior plies
I want to build a Paul Sellars-style bench - the plies are face up. Does anyone here know how well eucalyptus might hold up to the demands of a shop bench? Is Vietnamese production any cause for concern?
I'm asking because ALL the interior plies are extremely wavy and inconsistent - I wouldn't want to have to go through all of this again.
