3/4" Baltic Birch Plywood Pack (Choose Your Size)
Get the best Baltic birch in the size you want!
Baltic Birch is the plywood of choice for a number of uses because it's inexpensive, stable, holds screws exceptionally well, and it's made with waterproof glue. Use Baltic Birch for your box bottoms, drawer sides, scroll saw art, shop jig-making and other craft work.
The length or width may be undersized by 1/8"

Shipping damage
Every single piece of wood I received had damage to the edges. I have pictures if you want them. I strongly suggest you use some kind of hard cardboard edging or Styrofoam inserts instead of cellophane wrapping.

High grade baltic birch
So expensive. Be aware there are different grades of baltic birch. Some I bought locally was so bad with lots of footballs on the faces and voids on the inner lams. The sheet I received from Woodworkers Source was perfect - no footballs and no visible voids when cut.

Warped boards and splintered edges
The good:
- Boards are indeed 18 mm thick, with 1 good face
- Have not encountered any voids
The bad:
- Main one: boards are twisted, out of 6x 20"x30" boards, only 1 was actually flat
- The non-factory edges are not straight, and have noticeable splintering
I'm relatively new to woodworking and have mostly stuck with bigger construction grade projects thus far. I was hoping to use these sheets as shelving in my linen closet, but was disappointed that only 1 was flat enough to be used as is.
I have shimmed the rest with some scrap wood at the back so they don't wobble so the money wasn't completely wasted; however, for the price and hype around Baltic birch being incredibly flat and stable I was expecting more.
As other commenters have noted, I also feel that this plywood is not flat enough to make jigs out of.
Note: I am in WA while the plywood came from AZ, so maybe the warp is from the quick change in climates

High quality baltic birch delivered in perfect condition
The baltic birch I received was top quality and in perfect condition. I previously bought a sheet from my local hardwood supplier. It was a much lower grade with lots of voids and patches but just as expensive. This was my first plywood order from Woodworkers Source but not my last.

3/4 x 2'x4' Baltic birch
All of the sheets had defects on both sides. Disappointed.
I use alot of this all the time for projects. I like my stuff to look good. I will have to order from another supplier unless they contact me and do better. If I can get what I expect, I will continue to order here....we'll see what happens. Other than that the wood arrived in good shape.

Great Customer Service!
I was originally going to deduct 1 star as one of the pieces of plywood in my order had a milling defect which should have been picked up by the peson putting the order together.
I emailed customer service with a .jpg to show them the problem. I was almost immediately mailed back by Kim H. from customer service and offered a credit for the piece. She also offered to replace it if necessary.
***** 5 Star Customer Service for the win
