Tag Archives: Wood Materials

We’ve tried plenty of laser-friendly woods, but this box of 45 Baltic birch plywood sheets felt like a serious step up the moment we opened it. The A/A grade faces are clean and bright, with a natural veneer color that photographs well and makes engraved details pop. At 12 x 12 inches and a true 1/8” (3mm) thickness, the sheets feed consistently through our setup, and the material feels noticeably sturdier than basswood-less “spongy,” more decisive under the beam. We also liked how versatile it is: laser cutting, scroll saw work, and wood burning all seem within reach without switching stock. Still, we’re watching for the usual birch quirks-glue lines, occasional char, and whether every sheet stays as flat as promised.
