Dan,

Let me do some asking around, I’m not sure if the changes I made to Norm’s plans are significant enough to be considered an original work, and thus something I can publish.

]]> Comment on A baltic birch plywood primer by James http://www.dans-hobbies.com/2010/01/09/a-baltic-birch-plywood-primer/comment-page-1/#comment-263 James Thu, 14 Jan 2010 04:21:19 +0000 http://www.dans-hobbies.com/?p=779#comment-263 Indeed a very informative article, that clears up several questions that people have in regard to Baltic Birch Plywood. I would like to point out some misconceptions that people tend to have in regards to Baltic Birch plywood. Well first of all 8x4 or 4x8 sizes have been always available on the market, but those have been primarily used in heavy industries. Baltic Birch is very well known for it's strength (bending properties) and wear resistance, that is where you see 4x8 being used as industrial flooring, container flooring and other heavy duty flooring applications. Just sheer life span and resistance to abuse of Baltic Birch flooring is amazing. Also 4x8 sheets are used in concrete form work and again just because it can be used over and over again. The reason why you see most of the lumber yards and suppliers carry 5x5 sheets is because it is being thought that 5x5 sheets produce less leftovers and can be cut very efficiently in cabinet making and furniture industries. Another factor that has been keeping 5x5 trend going is milling machines and laser cutting machines where most of the programming is configured for most common standard, that is 5x5. Recently there has been a trend that leans toward using 4x8 or 8x4 sheets since this size is easier to transport and there are many other applications that require Baltic Birch Plywood in such size. Another interesting misconception that people have is as to a true standard of Baltic Birch. Sometimes people settle for a product that is made in China an is claimed to be a true Baltic Birch. In fact ask yourself a simple question "where is China and where is Baltic Sea" well we talking about 10,000 mile difference between regions. So once someone goes to the store and claims they got a bargain on Baltic Birch for half the price, well that is just a simple lie, unless bought in quantity from a wholesaler. Just think of it, cut in Europe and brought for processing to Asia hmmm, on top of that Russian Rail Roads are notorious for being very very expensive. So how is it cheaper? Well answer is simple, so what you really getting from Baltic Birch that is stamped Made In China? Well you are getting two veneers of birch, on top and bottom and you get good old pine or poplar in the middle. What is most disappointing in this matter is in fact that the whole concept of strong and durable product is gone and on top of that a bad name is given. So please beware of such misconception. I hope that my contribution will be of help, and good luck with your Baltic Birch Plywood projects.
