audiofanaticz Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) wood is GARBAGE Its everyday plywood with a lot of voids (knots) that are not filled with a top and bottom veneer of birch sandwiching the plywood. Just because you dont see any voids on the exterior edges of the wood also does not mean that the sheet of wood is void free because once you cut into it there could be a lot of voids that are unseen until the cut, or you may get lucky and miss the voids and like I said if your lucky enough to do so, still dont mean its a good void free piece of wood. Its lighter then mdf, but at the cost of it being lighter weight your sacrificing it not being anything near as dense or strong as mdf. To put it simple, unless your using legit baltic birch, or anything with a full core (not plywood) its not worth using IMO. You can also find Birch with a MDF core at Menards and then the top and bottom layer or veneer of the wood is birch, its a bit better, but unless your going for "looks" your still better off with mdf due to the price comparison, because its still pretty heavy wood. Ive used a lot of quality birch before, and just bought this crappy "classic" birch made by Tigarply and I done a lot of cussing to say the least..... The good baltic birch stocked at most Menards, but is now special order at my local store this cheap wood just really pisses me off! lol @ 2:18 you can see the quality of this cheap wood..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga2yvdei1dw Edited December 15, 2011 by Audiofanaticz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tctdh11 Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I went to Menards and the wood as stated above was garbage. So I went to Lowes and found 11 ply that they price matched at the same price. Granted it's not Baltic... It's a lot better than what the crap that was at Menards. I'm going to be fiberglassing and using steel supports throughout my build so that double layered (triple if I can get the air space) I think will be plenty strong. Thanks for all the input fellas!
