General Characteristics
Imported Birch plywood often tries to follow domestic face and back grade rules. The core is less stable than domestic plywood, although the manufacturers are getting better at machine drying the core and holding the tolerances.
The face and back veneers of imported Birch plywood are usually cut from Baltic logs. The core will contain more plies than the typical domestic plywood. These panels are available with Moisture Resistant (MR) glue.
Natural Birch panels are mostly used for painted applications, and White Birch panels for stained applications.
Most of these products are being used in the construction of residential cabinets, store fixtures, closets, entertainment centers, and other furniture applications.
