Default Plywood to buy

I want to make an extension to my dining room table, approximately3' x

it will bolt on to the existing metal table frame on one side with two
bolts, and have one leg set on center about 18" in from the edge. I
anticipate using 1x4 about 4" in from edge (approx) to match existing to
beef it up and keep if from torquing.

What would be a very good furniture grade 3/4" plywood to buy for this
project? Going to rout the edge to round with the little edge on there.

Birch core with veneer?

Any suggestions, caveats, or tips appreciated.

TIA

GOOD LUCK! You have quite a task ahead of you. If you really want for
this to look good and you are not experienced in doing this type of
modification I strongly suggest you let a pro do it.

Consider also that you might get out with less cost by buying a table
the size you want.
