[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 67883, member: 272"] Re: Plywood Been cutting on the stuff I bought. Seems no different than baltic birch 13-ply The inner layers aren't as perfect as the ones I've seen in modern fine-furniture but there's minimal to no voids. Sledgehammer testing on scraps is better than the 7-ply birch or fir ply that is the only other stuff available (I have to drive 2-hours to the Menards and that's the nearest place -if not then 4-hours to Billings! The local lumberyard can get me whatever I need on special-order but with a minimum of a full pallet load (30-something sheets) and with a rather robust trucking surcharge :-) I have a bunch of old EV cabinets that appear to be made of OSB and they have held up really well- especially so considering their age! It does appear to be slightly different (thicker "flakes") but was trying to figure something lighter than MDF yet cheaper than plywood for building carpeted boxes for light use or for installs. (And I am in process of actually building a couple houses here so I will be using much OSB for its intended purpose) Thanks [/QUOTE]
