The last time I got a quote on Apple ply it was about double the cost of BB. That may have been 20 years ago. As I understand, it is made from domestic birch (The use of the word 'Apple' in the name was apparently meant to play on national pride - The poetry being that this product is as 'Merican as Apple Pie). I also understand that it is an excellent quality plywood. I have indeed experienced a fair amount of variation in the quality of the Baltic Birch that I've purchased from various places over the years and have yet to try Apple Ply.
