Is the 3/4" Birch more or less expensive than MDF? What kind of paint did you use on birch? Oil or water based?

And where do you get that birch ply? I don't think I've seen it at HD or Menards..

It's available at both, at least around here (Chicagoish). Go back in the actual lumber yard section and ask someone there if you don't see it. You want birch faced plywood. It's just regular plywood but the two visable faces have a birch veneer on them so it looks like real wood. Pricier, of course. ~$35.00 for a 4' x 8' x 3/4" sheet.
This stuff is great if you don't wanna go to the hassle of gluing up several smaller boards to make a large project which has to have the look of real wood. I just built my girlfriend a hope chest type thing and a set of CD storage drawers last week outta it. In a cabinet, T-molding will cover the telltale plywood edges, but you can get real wood veneer in thin iron-on strips to cover the edges in a regular woodworking project.
