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)

Drew - The grading system is slightly different. Instead of AC or CDX grades, they have A1 or B3. A is the best face quality, while 3 would be the worst back quality. THey also have specific grades for certain species, it can get a little complicated. I just look for A and 1. It is heavier, some 4x8 sheets can go up to 60 lbs. each. The place I go has stuff pretty much only in 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4" thickness, but I know it comes in more sizes than that. Prices change weekly with the market, but last week's prices were (A-1 quality, 3/4" thickness): Birch - $60, Red Oak - $80, Teak (TEAK?!?) $210.
KrawDaddy - Don't you dare stop with the pictures!! Just when you teased us this far you go and threaten to stop! We want more!!!

Here is some progress !
-Please give some feedback. I have enough black for the sides of the control panel but I must decide what color to use for the top of the CP.
