Wood type?

[emtffkev]

I read the previous post about making your own plywood. I don't currently have the setup to make my own, so I was wondering. Is the only negative about the baltic birch ply that it isn't very good looking? I'm gonna try my hand at a clock just to test my skills out. I've also got Oak ply available to me.

I've found Baltic and Finnish birch to be consistently high quality with many plys.  It cuts well with edges that can be finished to a smooth surface.  The plywood is available in hobby and model shops.  I've found some very poor quality half inch thick material at a hardwood store.  It had poor gluing and poor ply matching.

Its good material for basic wood clock construction.

I understand the current demand for the plywood is outstripping supply.
