3mm 1/8" x 12" x 20" B/BB Baltic Birch Plywood (15pcs) - Perfect for Arts & Crafts, School & DIY Projects, Drawing, Painting, Wood Engraving, Burning & Laser Projects - Cherokee Wood Products

Falcon Pro 22WJust ordered the 15” square sheets last week and they arrived today, I checked them out and find them relatively straight for a 3 mm thick sheet of plywood.Checked thickness with my calipers and it is spot on.There are occasional small knots on one side 1/4 -3/8”, this are very manageable.Some have bigger spots that have been filled and sanded smooth as you can see in pictures from other reviews.They are carefully shrink-wrapped for shippingThese boards cut easily on my machine at about 500 mm/m with full power.Absolutely love that this comes from a US source.

I'm about 1/3 the way through the box. All sheets have been dead flat, and the show side is flawless. I am using 5-6% power for raster engraving @ 100mm/s and vector engraving @ 20mm/s. For vector cutting, I bump the power up to 16% @ 8mm/s. It slices the wood like butter. No issues with any voids. Even the finest cuts come out perfect. Check out the almost paper thin mask strap on the ornament picture.FWIW, the National Park Service sign is free from ThingiVerse. The ornament design was $1 from Etsy.I rarely give a 5 star review for products. This one deserves it. I will be buying more.

I use this wood at a makerspace with the laser cutter there. It cuts great and is pretty affordable! The only downside is sometimes this wood comes a little warped, and it doesn't sit flat (which can make it hard to cut, as the wood is at different heights and you have to focus the laser at different heights in different places). But overall it works well.

These boards have less coloration defects, are truer/flatter and less physical marring than what I found on the shelf at michael's... For less than a third the price!At michael's I found a similar 1/8" 12x12 baltic birch plywood sheet that was clearly tossed around and scratched for 5 bucks... It also had the barcode sticker which left a glue residue smack in the middle of one side. Here I have a stack of pristine sheets glue-free that are nearly devoid of defects for about a $1.30 each in a stack of 48... The value is through the roof and I'm definitely going to reorder when I manage to cut my way through this whole stack!

Excellent material for a laser cutter. (Be aware (!) slightly bowed so set the depth of your cutter in vicinity of where you will be cutting if you are cutting a small area. I haven't tried any process for making it flatter and I haven't tried cutting anything using the full size of the sheet.)Good buy for the larger boxes of sheets. Comes very well packed against water; cardboard box should be sufficient to protect the edges. A 40 sheet box weighs 19 pounds so just expect that before you go to pick up the box if you get a large one.

I thought I was getting a great deal but I am having to run these through my laser many more times than normal for 3mm. Turns out they are closer to 5mm when measured with calipers.Not at all cost efficient as I'm using way more electricity.

The plywood can laser cut a bit inconsistent. No big problem, just increase the power or decrease the speed for a consistent cut.

Cherokee Wood Products is always my go to for laser quality wood products. I have been ordering from them thru Amazon and their website directly for over a year. Won’t go anywhere else for my laser wood.
