: Has anyone used 1/8" birch in building?
: I,ve use quite a bit of 1/4" baltic core birch. I've built boats from it
: as well as bulkheads and coaming. Knowing what core is on the inside is
: really the difference. If it is solid birch I think I would go for it.
: Where are you getting 1/8" birch?

: Danny
