Hi John,
Glad you found a suitable product at a reasonable price. Since leaving the trade I haven't kept up with the market. Some of the multiply plywood products are pretty good, but not quite as nice as Baltic birch.
What are the Canadians offering?

this is a solid ply That means voids are plugged , while it is typical plywood with not as many plys as baltic birch is is a stable and strong product. The plys are aspen and the veneer is maple . Apply ply is out of the world in price. over $8.25 sq foot.
Baltic is going to be done for a while I am afraid. I hope the US Manufacturing picks up on this and starts investing in on shore production.
