Baltic Birch Marine Plywood: The Ideal Choice for Your DIY Woodworking Projects
When selecting premium plywood for marine and woodworking applications, Baltic Birch is a top-tier choice. Our Baltic Birch Marine Plywood comes in convenient 24"x48" sheets and various thicknesses—1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and a robust full 1". This versatile material is perfect for both DIY enthusiasts and professional woodworkers seeking durable, high-quality projects.
Superior Construction
Our Baltic Birch plywood features multi-ply, all-birch inner plies for exceptional stability and durability without voids, ensuring the material is robust and reliable for any project. The glue used is an exterior phenolic resin, offering enhanced moisture resistance—ideal for marine environments or any high-humidity areas.
Unfinished Marine Grade Quality
Crafted from whole-piece face veneer, our Baltic Birch plywood features a Grade BB/CP classification according to the GOST 30427 standard. The front face is Grade BB, which means it allows for small, matching color patches in a uniform white tone. You'll find that this grade can accommodate tight knots and pin knots, enhancing its aesthetic while still being practical for many applications. Additionally, minor cracks—up to two per meter—are permissible, along with light mineral streaking, all contributing to the unique character of each sheet.
On the back face, graded at CP, you'll find matching patches of similar color, knots up to a 6mm size are allowed, and permissible filled cracks and mineral streaking. This careful grading ensures that while the plywood maintains its strength and marine quality, it also showcases the natural beauty of birch.
Versatility for Various Projects
Whether you're building a sleek boat interior, custom cabinetry, or intricate furniture pieces, Baltic Birch Marine Plywood offers the versatility and performance you need. Sold at our lumber yard in larger 4'x8' sheets, we've cut them down to size in our woodshop, with a size variance allowance of approximately 1/4” due to saw blade cutting.
Important Note
Please be aware that this plywood does not feature a clear face. For projects that require a clear finish, consider exploring our Hechthout® Okoume Marine Plywood, specifically engineered for those needs.
In summary, Baltic Birch Marine Plywood is a reliable, versatile choice for anyone looking to take on woodworking or marine projects with confidence. Its unique qualities and robust construction make it an essential material for your next DIY endeavor!

Ask for front and back photos.
The face of the 42x48 pierce of Baltic birch 3/8” ply looked fine. Some gouges and grainholes, most came out with sanding. The back, however was a series of biscuits and other cover patches. Can’t be stained without showing. Don’t buy if you want to see both sides of your board.

Great quality
This is the only place anywhere I have been able to find 1 inch Birch. I'm building sub boxes and can't way to start.

Beautiful piece of wood
Got our piece of wood and it’s everything we expected. We need to shape it into a transom for a dinghy and hate to cut it, but it will make a perfect replacement, almost exactly like the original. It was packed very well and although shipping was a bit expensive, it was well worth it. Excellent quality.

Happily surprised
First time buyer. Ordered 2- 2'x4'x3/4" Baltic Birch ply. Great faces and backs. Edges had minimal voids if any. Packaging was great; corners were well protected with foam and cardboard. Product is packaged in a cardboard box. Very pleased and will buy again. Not too keen on the $30 for shipping, but I guess it can't be avoided. Elated with the product.
