Birch plywood from China often tries to follow domestic face and back grade rules. The core is a Chinese Poplar that is less stable than domestic plywood, although the Chinese are getting better at machine drying the core and holding the tolerances. The face and back veneers of the Birch are usually cut from Russian logs and the panels are available with Rotary Cut Whole Piece Faces and Backs. The core will contain more plies than the typical domestic plywood. These panels are available with Moisture Resistant (MR) glue. Natural Birch panels are being used for painted applications and White Birch panels for stained applications. Most of these products are being used in the construction of residential cabinets, store fixtures, closets, entertainment centers, and other furniture applications.
