Birch plywood

Material Overview

Our birch plywood sheets are constructed from multiple layers of birch veneer, cross-bonded into a stable, sturdy, and smooth sheet material. Due to the fine, defined structure, this wood is ideal for laser cutting and engraving. The result: neat, brown cut edges and sharp engravings – perfect for both visual and functional use.

Thanks to the cross-lamination, minimal distortion occurs, but because the sheets are thin, they can warp slightly. This can easily be remedied by placing a small weight on the sheet or cutting the sheet into sections.
