Feel like an idiot buying Timber at timber yards

thanks again. Andy, on that link u provided... looks very good and
they deliver but im confused about the choise of plywood.
here is Veneered MR Grade Plywood (veneered 1 face only) 2440 x 1220
http://www.slhardwoods.co.uk/sheetma...asp?sheetID=10
and this is WBP Plywood Products
http://www.slhardwoods.co.uk/sheetma...asp?sheetID=25
Is veneered plywood like mdf with a glossy plastic feeling veneer over
it, or is it cabinet grade ply with a real wood layer? If so is there
cabinet grade ply among the WBP Plywood Products (that don't mention
they have a veneer) ? Can veneer mean either a thin layer of real wood
or a lino material with a wood pattern. Prices suggest there are some
v. good quality ones. Is it safe to assume russian birch is going to
be attractive on one side? - at that price i should hope so!
Hope i made myself clear, thankyou
Sorry, but I've deleted your original post. I don't like WBP due to bad
experiences (years ago) and only use marine ply - irrespective of cost -
it's the business. Lasts donkeys of years. There are boats still in use
today that were built with it the early 60's to my recollection - could
be longer!
