I'll have to look into these types of plywood further. We are also looking at formaldehyde free plywoods and other green sheet products like MDF, wheatboard and sunflower seed husk boards. Shawn,

This material differs from "regular" birch ply in that there are no voids in the interior. This way, you can use the unfinished edge as a design element, rather than covering it up with edge-banding. Some of your photos above use this product. It's dimensionally stable and a treat to wok with. It's a superior product in many respects. One drawback to Baltic birch can be its size. While you can find it in standard 4x8 sheets, it's commonly sold as a 5x5 sheet. The larger size offers you some cool design options, handling this size can be tough. Hey Chad,
