Wyatt,

I am using "Prefinished one side" cabinet grade birch plywood for my
extensive kitchen cabinet project. This is my first experience with
prefinished sheet goods and as you speculate, it has saved me so much work I
can't even imagine using anything else in the future.

I had my millwork supplier rip them in half and then I finished ripping them
to 23". They were delivered to me on a flat bed truck and even after cross
cutting them ( see my cross cut jig on my website) and biscuit slotting all
the case components, the finish is just as nice as when it left the plywood
factory. I am sold for sure.. and at a 20% premium, it was worth every penny
of $12 per sheet extra.

Good luck.

I'm considering doing my own kitchen cabinets. One of the things that
has me worried (quality and time) is putting a good, durable finish on
everything. Anybody ever use this stuff?

This it the best thing that I have found to meet my requirements for
case work. I don't mind finishing the face frame, doors, and drawers
with a HVLP, but I don't want to have to finish the case interiors.

I haven't found a distributor yet so I have no idea on the cost. It
would be really cool if this stuff came already cut to standard
widths. Can anybody discuss their experiences with this stuff?

Thanks.
