## Description

A warm, light-toned hardwood plywood made for clean cutting and engraving on consumer [laser machines](https://core-electronics.com.au/laser-cutters.html). At 3mm, this 600 x 300mm Birch Laserply sheet is the range's all-rounder - the sheet to default to when you don't yet know what the next project is.

Birch is a true hardwood, and denser than the pine and basswood options. That density is what you feel during assembly rather than during the cut: small teeth, thin tabs and narrow spans hold their shape instead of flexing, and edges stay crisp when handling. It makes birch the pick for parts that do a job - jigs, gear trains, boxes, mechanism plates and anything that gets used more than once.

The face is a soft golden-cream with light patterns, a warmer hue rather than stark, and takes stain and clear finishes particularly well. Though there are two things to weigh up: that figure adds character but means engraved tone varies slightly across a panel, so basswood is the better choice for photographic raster work. And Birch costs more than Radiata - worth it when the part matters, but less so when you're still guessing.

### Laser Cutting Plywood

Every sheet in this range is manufactured void-free, so the laser beam meets consistent material wherever it cuts: no bubbling, no blown-out patches, and laser setting profiles that hold from one sheet to the next. The range is pressed in Melbourne using formaldehyde-free adhesives, removing one major source of fumes - which counts in classrooms, design studios and shared workshops. Timber is sourced from FSC-certified or sustainably managed forests.
