Yep, I like scandinavian design and the look of plywood edges.




they serve nicely in the lobby of my office.

It is not russian birch, but Appleply oak. Appleply is the best plywood one can get at least in North East New York.

Very nice. I will have to get my hands on some Appleply.

That stool is awesome! Nice work!

David, indeed, Appleply is to be preferred if one likes to expose the edges.
These here are from another project, done with “baltic” (russian) birch plywood:




and this is a similar stool / bench piece made from “Baltic” birch:

So that is not the excellent quality I expect from my work. Sorry the arrogance.

Appleply is not free of dark spots in inner layers, but I did not have holes yet.

Europly could be a good catch, made in Canada, mostly sold in the west, could not get it in the northeast.

IMO, originaly I am from Europe, the choices of plywood in Europe are much better than in the US, therefore I expect good quailty from Europly too. Do not risk the shipping costs for a possible disappointment yet. But possibly you can get a look at some sheets where you live.

Matthias, I do like exposed edges. I need to give Appleply a call after checking out their website. It looks like all of their 1" ply is out of stock. I have a project that I am getting ready to work on that is 1" thick and the Applyply would be perfect.

I live in North Carolina so am afraid I am in the same boat you are regarding Europly.

Best,
Dave

Appleply people do not keep their website up to date too often :), I have to call there if I need something, and yes I will need some 1" sheets to finish a year long project (hamper couch / chair).

Pls let me / us know if you get ahold of the europly.
