I'm speechless... what an amazing cool cab you're building! Added this cab to my "favorites" :)

Howdy
I bought the wood from a cabinet specialist store. The plywood is imported from Russia and is Baltic birch. They come in 5 X 5 sheets and costs 40 bucks a sheet. At one point I found that my marquee was 1/16 too wide so I used a router and took 1/16 of the face of the wood, sanded and it looks almost as good as the veneer face. There was a knot though. The cool think about this plywood is its resistance too warping and it has 13 plys!
Nephus:
wow, nice design. I'm also surprised that you've picked a CP layout similar to what I'm planning on. Looking forward to the finished CP ;D

--- Quote from: Mameotron on September 03, 2004, 01:11:30 am ---The thing that separates cabinet grade plywood from other types is that all the layers in cabinet grade are made from hardwood, i.e., cabinet grade birch plywood would be made from only birch.
This is often confused with veneered plywood, in which the layers are usually pine with only the top two surfaces made from hardwood (usually birch or oak).
Home Depot and Lowes have the veneered kind in stock, I don't know about cabinet grade. There is a plywood dealer where I live that sells only plywood- they have just about everything in stock there.

Hey, thanks man! I never knew the difference! I hang cabinets and build them out of the "other stuff" and would have never known that unless you had said something. What's the cost differential between the two, and can it be purchased the same as regular i.e. one side sanded, both sanded, thickness, etc? Also, what's the weight difference? Same, lighter, or heavier? (I'm assuming heavier since you said it's hardwood layers vs. pine plys, but I dunno)
