3/4" Baltic Birch Plywood 20" x 30"
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".

The Best Baltic Birch
- Core of solid Birch veneer laminations means better gluing and screw-holding than other plywood
- Edges can be routed
- Edges can be left bare or covered with edge banding or solid banding
- Thick face veneer allows you greater margin for sanding without worry of sanding through
- Available in 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4" thickness

Top Grade
I've ordered baltic birch of various thicknesses 3 times from Woodworkers Source. Each order has been top quality baltic birch. Due to cost and availability, there are lower grades of baltic birch out there. My local supply sells a lower grade with many voids and 'footballs' and charges the same as here. The only downside is inability to order a full sheet for obvious reasons.

Excellent
I build speakers and subwoofers and using Home Depot plywood is a no-go. This stuff is much denser, much more solid, and way more beautiful. I had one piece that had some oval shaped veneer repairs which was a downside but I made sure that part was facing the inside of my sub enclosure so no one would ever see it.
Other than that it cuts great on a CNC and looks beautiful. Very thick veneer with plenty of room for sanding!

Wish I found this website years ago..
So I build my own subwoofer enclosures and I have gotten birch ply from home depot or if I did not want to go through the process I'd jut get a prefab box or have one custom made. The amount of money I've wasted on enclosures, literally makes me sick lol.. I wish I knew about this site many years ago! Between the prices, shipping costs, how clean it was cut; and the packaging was very secure and was well protected. Shipping was very quick and most important, the quality is amazing! I'd definitely buy from here again without a doubt.

Baltic birch plywood
I notice quite a few dark spots in the plies and some voids and branch spots, still it was very nice wood to work with.

Great plywood
Great plywood but it had a potato chip look to it. It wasn't perfectly flat.
