I stacked cut these two out of 4mm. Marine Ply & used both spiral & flat blades although the spirals especially did not last long before they were blunt so went through a lot of blades,the marine ply must be a lot harder than the Baltic Birch that a lot of you people use.Added a bit of colour to these for something a bit different,hope you like.  Cheers Peter.

Great work Peter!

The main difference between Baltic birch plywood and marine grade plywood I's the glues use to sandwich the layers. On BB plywood they use a water soluble glue. On marine grade plywood they use a waterproof epoxy type glue which is much harder on blades.

Thank you for the explanation it makes sense.I use the marine ply because it seems to be of better quality & less voids.

I don't know where you're getting your BB plywood, I've yet to see a void in BB plywood and I've used a lot of it over the years. I have seen #2 BB with small voids or poor patchwork, but, I never buy #2 grade. There is different grades, are you sure your getting #1 grade 2fs?
