A couple of months ago I was at my Home Depot and on the floor at the front of one of their aisle I saw Maple/Birch plywood 4X8 sheets for $29.99. I gobbled up four because they rarely have ply at that good of a price (their Birch only is $40.00 as well as Oak).
Last week I finally started on a project w/ the ply and noticed that three of the sheets appeared to be composite of 12 thin layers of laminated wood where as the other looked to be five thicker layers covered on both sides with a veneer.
Went back to the Depot yesterday and they now seem to be carrying the Birch/Maple as a regular item, but on the five layered type. To, at last, get to the point; what is the difference between the two?
