Hello, I am making a bookcase for a class and the buildup calls for 2
sided
veneer ply, but all I can find in the species I'm using is B1. Will that
be
good enough? Or should I go with a contrasting species. I'm using quarter
sawn white oak for the legs and streachers and shelf faces.
Would red oak be a weird contrast, I know it is more readily available?

Yes Red Oak would contrast, in color mostly if you are going with a clear
finish. How thick does the plywood need to be? Could you put 2 thinner
pieces back to back?

The grain of flat sawn oak (which is typical of the face veneer of
plywood)
will contrast with quartersawn oak. The color of oaks vary a lot
within
red oak or white oak so you would really have to look at the pieces
before deciding if they clash with the plywood in color.
