This plywood is a functional grade material composed of birch from parts of Russia and Finland. It uses interior glue and the plies in the lay-up are of lesser quality making the Baltic birch less expensive. The Baltic birch is graded as a B-BB, which means that one face, B, will be a whole face, no splices, have no patches (plugs that are used to cover defects) but may contain knot pattern or mineral streaks.
