Wood Notes - Baltic Birch Plywood

Tip Downloads From WOOD® Magazine

Baltic Birch plywood is becoming very popular with woodworkers because it is a hardwood that is mostly free of voids, has few knots and has several more “plys” than domestic plywood.  It is known for it's stability and is excellent for use in cabinet construction as it holds fasteners extremely well. 

Baltic Birch is usually sold in 5' x 5' sheets and is imported from Finland and Russia with the Finnish brand typically rated a higher quality than it's Russian counterpart.  A few typical uses of this plywood are for: cabinets, drawer sides, displays, bookcases, desks, furniture and table tops.

Each downloadable woodworking technique from WOOD® Magazine includes detailed instructions, easy-to-read illustrations, color drawings, photographs, and all the information needed to make you a better woodworker.

Each technique has been shop-tested by the editors of WOOD magazine.  Included are tips & techniques for routing, joinery, cabinetry, turning, scrollsawing, finishing, sanding, gluing, clamping and many more.
