Baltic Birch is bitchen, boy.

Its also expensive as hell here in California. Almost double the
price of marine plywood.

IRCC..its $65 a 4x8 sheet of 12mm

I can get 1/2" Marine for $32

Wow! I'm paying $25 for 5x5' sheets of 1/2"/~12mm, $20 on sale. (bad
enough) I'd look around a bit more for a better price if I were you.
It should be had for less in HelL.A. Try hardwood stores as well as
lumber yards. Home Improvement stores tend to price it horribly.

I used some plain 3/4" birch ply for a closet shelf in an upper end
home last month. HD had it for $46 a sheet and it was pretty decent.
9-ply Baltic (or Russian or Finnish) is better, though.

What I've seen of the plywood and Home Depot and Lowes, I wouldn't use
it to build a shelf at home, much less anything on a boat!

Look, a MUCH better building material for marine use is - Fiberglass!
But it doesn't much lend it shelf to cheap construction.

Materials can be cheap...its those pesky molds and things they are
made from that can get expensive.....
