Comments welcome.

I don't know what "this Baltic Birch" you refer to, but my admittedly
limited experience says no.

The usual tearout problem with solid stock is blowout when the
dovetail bit exits the work piece. That can be mitigated with a
backer board.

What I've seen with the plywood is tearout on the front side when the
bit enters the work and grabs and tears the face lamination.

All of this assumes, of course that you are routing the DTs.

I had some very recent experience with this material and my dovetail
jig. Even using backer boards front and back did not solve the problem.
In the end I used finger, or box, joints cut with my dado set on the
table saw. While it worked well I still had some de-lamination on
assembly. I had to adjust the joint making it less tight.

Good luck. Mike
