6mm 1/4" x 12" x 20" B/BB Baltic Birch Plywood (60pcs) - Perfect for Arts & Crafts, School & DIY Projects, Drawing, Painting, Wood Engraving, Burning & Laser Projects - Cherokee Wood Products (60)

The plywood can laser cut a bit inconsistent. No big problem, just increase the power or decrease the speed for a consistent cut.

Yes there is some warp, which is unavoidable (if you understand 1/8" plywood). However, the benefits far out way any issues. I used this on a CO2 laser. It rasters very nice since Baltic Birch plywood has 100% solid, birch core.While it is very strong wood, you can bend the plywood in the opposite direction of the warp to get it to lay flat for the laser.The board finish comes with a rough sand, so I fine sand the laser surface before lasering. With some trial and error with stains, sanding, repeat stain, etc., you can achieve some beautiful grains! I would include a photo but all I have is an award plaque that I can't share. I will continue to buy this product for the laser.

Overall nice quality. The size is great. I’ve had a hard time finding this size or similar to fit in my machine big enough for larger projects without having to cut it. Overall good product. I had maybe 2 warped boards, and even those were only slightly warped. Previous suppliers I would have half the stack warped. Only complaint was that out of the 32 was that about 8-10 had fillings in the back which made them unusable for finished products. Kind of sucked when I was trying to finish up Mother’s Day orders and ran out of good pieces. I had to go to my larger pieces and trim them down and now have to order more of those for my larger projects. I understand knots, but the patches are a bit obvious.

Cherokee Wood Products is always my go to for laser quality wood products. I have been ordering from them thru Amazon and their website directly for over a year. Won’t go anywhere else for my laser wood.

These boards have less coloration defects, are truer/flatter and less physical marring than what I found on the shelf at michael's... For less than a third the price!At michael's I found a similar 1/8" 12x12 baltic birch plywood sheet that was clearly tossed around and scratched for 5 bucks... It also had the barcode sticker which left a glue residue smack in the middle of one side. Here I have a stack of pristine sheets glue-free that are nearly devoid of defects for about a $1.30 each in a stack of 48... The value is through the roof and I'm definitely going to reorder when I manage to cut my way through this whole stack!

I'm about 1/3 the way through the box. All sheets have been dead flat, and the show side is flawless. I am using 5-6% power for raster engraving @ 100mm/s and vector engraving @ 20mm/s. For vector cutting, I bump the power up to 16% @ 8mm/s. It slices the wood like butter. No issues with any voids. Even the finest cuts come out perfect. Check out the almost paper thin mask strap on the ornament picture.FWIW, the National Park Service sign is free from ThingiVerse. The ornament design was $1 from Etsy.I rarely give a 5 star review for products. This one deserves it. I will be buying more.

I purchased hundreds of dollars of this wood over the past few years. It was always amazing until recently. The order prior to this was a big problem with laser cutting. The core of the wood wouldn’t cut. I spoke with the company and they sent a replacement pack and every other board was the same. So I took a break and ordered from a different company for about 6 months hoping it was a bad batch of wood and it would be back to normal soon. I again tried the wood this time and it’s the same. It wouldn’t cut with my laser like normal. The core of the wood is not wood but some yellow strands of something. It’s not my laser because I can cut the same 1/8th thickness in one pass of the other wood I bought. However this wood takes 5 times longer to cut and then doesn’t cut all the way through. It’s heart breaking because the company and customer service is great. But they really need a new and honest tester for their wood because it’s no longer suitable for laser cutting.

I've purchased several times previously without too much issue. Unfortunately, my most recent box has not been great so far. A lot of the wood has extensive voids and/or are warped and/or have patches. I'd say I've had to toss 1/3rd of what I've used so far - sometimes I can't tell until I cut it that it is crappy, which wastes time and material and puts wear/tear on my machine.My machine is kept in good condition and can go through materials twice as thick but it is struggling to cut this even on higher powers/slower speeds. Also, the warping is a fire hazard. Reminder to laser users to always watch your stuff and have equipment ready in case of a fire in your machine.I understand there are probably supply chain issues at work here, as the seller has previously provided fair quality for the money wood, but I can't recommend what I got in the last box for any laser users.Might be good for other things though! The shipping was quick and the boards are the correct size.
