I am doing a delicate project that requires 1) easy of cutting 2) good engraving contrast and 3) strength.
I began by using eight inch alder which looks very nice but breaks too easily. I then tried eighth inch baltic birch plywood which is very strong but the contrast is terrible. I tried a cherry veneer plywood but it is the cheap luan core which is too brittle.
An ideal solution would be a cherry veneer on a baltic birch or other hardwood core. Does anyone know if/where I can get such a product???
