I'm not a great 'consumer' of plywood, but I need some for some 'bog standard' workshop cabinets, and for drawers in a set of built ins in the study.
It'll all be painted. Accordingly, I'm interested in people's views on what 'quality' of plywood sheet is required for an adequate finishing surface. This is not 'exquisite furniture', but at the same time I don't want an obviously cruddy surface to be evident under the paint... Arnold Laver Timberworld are quoting me a fair price for 'standard WBP' at 18 and 12 mm: SL Hardwoods are trying to tell me that it's got to be Birch - at twice the price....
Any views? I'm happy to be told that it must be birch if that's the view of the team, but I'm not being suckered into paying an unnecessary premium.
TIA.
