It is a solid plank, made up of many edge glued pieces of solid wood with typically a cross grained outer layer on both sides and then an exterior veneer on both sides with grains running parallel to the inner core.
Typically common plywood is made up of thin alternating grain direction ply's/veneer sheets.
A common plywood trait is alternating plies which adds strength and stability and why plywood is often a better material for large areas where dimension stability is important. You do not see plywood with grain running in different directions on opposite sides therefore it always has an odd number of ply's.

Just heard on the AgrTalk weather segment this morning they've officially announced a La Nina watch which means likely end of the El Nino cycle and typically puts us back into the dry slot again...we just emerged this last year from five years of extreme drought so if that comes come to pass it ain't lookin' good again for a while...so a real soaking wet event would be a godsend first...

Is the drawer 36 inches deep or just 36 inches wide? If it's not 36 inches deep then the chord you have to work with is the front to back, not the side to side.

It's bowed _both_ directions, the long-ways is the longest unsupported length which is the 36" dimension. The one edge (front) is supported, yes, but the remainder is poorly supported by the failed nails along the rear. Look at the pictures to see the geometry.

Oh, if you're bothered treated it as a beam instead of plate, the point is how little it takes to get what seems a big bow in the center in relative movement of the ends. The plate solution is significantly more complicated to show the same thing; not worth the bother for the purpose here...

I know Leon. Baltic Burch is from the Soviet Union / aka Russia. It is a high quality board.

Have you ever worked on a Desk top ? You have several layers of Veneers. The whole thickness might be 1/16".

Well, we got home yesterday evening after being in SE KS for a family funeral...rained on us in varying intensity from not far west of Iola until nearly home where a shower had just passed. Many areas had from
4" to nearly 7"; there was a total of only 0.45" in the gauge at the house only. But, guess we have to be thankful for that, 20 miles on S was even less. The heavy rains "trained" over the same narrow bands for two days and we were, as seems so often the case, in the are the inflow setup and were thus "dryslotted" with heavier rains on both sides of us as near as ten miles or perhaps less...radio in town said they had around an inch which isn't 10 mi away to airport which is the measurement location I presume they were using...But, it is at least something altho won't last long....was a little severe weather around, but not much other than some localized flooding in the really local areas that got it. I'd not mind takin' my chances, frankly given as dry as we've been for the previous five...a few waterholes in low spots would be a novel occurrence.
