there's a birch veneer plywood that's pretty common in the yards around
here. used for cabinets, custom bookshelves, etc.
and not really all that pricey, considering how it looks.

Hello:

Saw some plywood sheets in a lumber yard which
I don't think I've ever seen before.

Wish I asked the fellow there for a type designation,
but neglected to.

They had one surface unbelievably smooth, and uniform; at least for any
plywood that I've ever seen.
A dark brown color.
Almost looked like a verneer.

No blemishes-really a nice layer.

Man there said it was absolutely wood, this top layer, and could be
stained, polyurethane, etc.

Anyone know the type of plywood that this "might" have been ?
Is the top layer really "wood" ?

What's this stuff usually used for ?
Indoor or Outdoor ?
Will it take a stain ?

Thanks,
Bob
