That's what I prefer. 1/8", even 3/16" feels cheap and sounds
cheap.
1/4" ply feels strong, doesn't deflect, and makes much less noise

I'm with you.

1/4", 5 ply Birch die board and 2-3 coats of shellac works for me for
drawer bottoms.

Forgot to include that the shellac is a 1 lb cut applied with a 2"
chip brush.

Damn Lew enjoy your chip brushes.
Certainly useable for epoxy glue ups.. not finishing.
