I know no one's shocked, however what they have sometimes works for me to make "acceptable" cabinets for my house. Now, I'm not impressed with their ply on the best of days. But sometimes what they have works, sometimes it has flaws, either in the manufacturing process or caused by the way they handle and store their sheetgoods. I'm never surprised anymore when I leave empty handed because there is simply too much damage to every available sheet. But I've never seen 100% of every sheet totally farked. They said it was triple sanded. But the sheathing plywood was smoother. Seriously. Sheathing ply was more warped, but slightly fewer ply.
Every sheet looked like this all over, except where even worse, front and back.
That's almost acceptable, in a way. Not what I was expecting, but it could be interesting. Too many flaws, however. I honestly think they forgot to but a veneer on top.
I might have gone ahead and gotten it if every sheet didn't have major zones of rough, almost fuzzy areas across the entire length.
Off to lowes tomorrow and see what their ply looks like. I've walked out of lowes before, too, so if that fails there's a plywood company in ft worth I'll try. Supposedly they sell to amateurs, so if I can look at a few sheets before I buy them I'll be happy. They have legit baltic birch, so that may be what I get.
