I got some of that 48x60 5-ply 1/4" stuff from a GP-wrapped stack at
Menards, only to find a cheap-looking purple stamp on some sheets with an
unmistakable Cyrillic "F-A" an abbreviation for factory (fabrika), and the
factory number. They used the same crummy ink and nomenclature on
everything during the Soviet days. I believe you may have Russian stuff
made on old Finnish equipment, sold by a US manufacturer. Or perhaps they
buy the veneers overseas and laminate here.

At any rate, the stuff was peeled white birch veneer, seems to display
pretty well, and is reasonably priced.

Interesting note - in Soviet days they not only stamped on manufacturer
information, but price, at the factory.

Hello all, I saw some 3/4" birch plywood at the borg that has 14 plys.
The veneer has good figure and would be OK for a cabinet carcase.
Problem is that they only have 2'X4' pieces, about $15.00 each.
It doesn't look like Baltic Birch, but I could be wrong on that.
Anybody know what this stuff is? Thanks.
