3/4-in x 4-ft x 8-ft Sumauma B-B exterior Sanded Plywood

Great, once cheaper, alternative.

My lowes was selling these for $46 a sheet. Now at $66, I am going to buy the birch for slightly more. At $46 it was a great value. Coloring is beautiful when oiled. Seems decently hard so I turned it into cabinets and a miter station Top.

Great product for the price

Low quality plywood.

I opted to try this over the birch which is what I have always bought from Lowes and used for cabinets. The birch is getting ridiculously expensive so I figured plywood is plywood. Wrong. I will just spend the extra money next time. In the end when you’re making something to last for years you should be able to easily justify an extra $20 a sheet. Lesson learned. This stuff is cheap, it splinters and delaminates to easily. The worst part of this brand of plywood is that it warps badly. I...
