trz Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 what's the difference between birch and baltic birch plywood? and would regular birch work just as well for figs and sleds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwood Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Around here Baltic birch is sold in 5' x 5' sheets. It is 13 plys instead of the normal 5 or 7. It also has no internal voids, which means strong, more stable sheets. If you make your jigs and sleds of of regular birch, you have more chance of warp.
