I went to HomeDepot looking for 3/4 birch plywood and they were completely out. They did have a huge stack of "radiata pine plywood" which looked pretty good and had 9 cores which appeared void-free. It was significantly less expensive than the PureBond Birch and appears to have a thicker face veneer as well. I was wondering if anyone had experience with this product for paint-grade cabinet projects. Thanks in advance for any advice and opinions.
Look for Arauco brand radiata plywood. Some, not all HD locations stock it.
