2024年7月10日 · Thanks for the feedback. The thought that it is ok to joint baltic birch plywood came from this clip. About 3 minutes in he says the jointer blades will be fine after a couple of passes of a sandwich of MDF and plywood. In my case, it …

2019年7月3日 · I've not spent a lot of time finishing Baltic Birch Plywood, I mostly use it for speaker baffles in amp cabinets I've built. For those, just some black spray paint has worked perfectly. But, latex paint is gonna need some kind of sizing, or sealer. My favorite, and quick go-to is always shellac.

2008年3月16日 · I've had good luck with Columbia's birch and maple ply—I usually use plywood for painted built-ins and the like—but you really do have to shop around. I have a couple of Lowe's and a couple of Home Depots within easy driving distance of where I live and work, and one of the HD's pretty consistently keeps a stock of Columbia plywood (labeled ...

2017年3月16日 · I live in Philly and have bought 4’x8’ sheets of multiply plywood (not true Baltic birch but basically the same) from Harbor Sales in Delaware. They will cut for a small fee and deliver. But they used to sell B/BB grade but recently they’ve only had BB/BB, and a 4x8 sheet of 3/4” is about $75 so I would love to find a different supplier.

2005年10月17日 · I’m building some bookcases out of birch ply. Wondering what the best finish would be. Looking to just bring out the natural wood tones. Thanks for any input. bri

2007年3月5日 · Baltic birch is typically manufactured in Russia where 1525 x 1525 mm is the standard. So, if you want that product, then that's the way it's going to be. As you know, China is geared to selling anything it can to the U.S. It then chooses to manufacture 4 x 8' plywood, because there is a huge market for that size. That birch plywood is not Baltic.

2009年2月25日 · No, I am not just ranting about these stores, most of the products sold are quality, and the employees are always very helpful. I am comparing two different products that are both sold as paint grade birch veneer plywood. The …

2023年1月14日 · I made a set of BB plywood drawers based on an article by Gary Rogowski (Versatile Plywood Drawers, issue #131). They're simple, easy to make and I was hoping to make some more for friends or maybe to sell. But the plywood is …

2019年10月30日 · Veneer is different from finish. I always veneer both sides of solid wood. But I only veneer 1 side of plywood. Plywood always comes with an odd number of plies, and doesn't warp. An even number of plies won't change that.

2006年2月19日 · Stain doesn't penetrate birch and blotches to boot. But dye will penetrate easily allowing you to go as dark as you want. It also is less prone to blotching--won't totally eliminate it, but often makes the problem unobjectionable. Mix a powdered dye with distilled water and work out how concentrated to make it on some scrap of the same wood.
