Popular Post Fish Posted July 9, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 I was looking for some good birch and couldn't find any. All I had found was not very good, to much grain or too many patches. I did find this at Menards. Half a sheet was $25. I got it on sale for $17. It has a better center filler and much better and cleaner surface. I don't know if Lowes or other stores have it. They didn't have it at the lumber yard I went to. The back side is much darker and not as clean but it may do something for some folks. I talked to an old friend and am going to do ten of these for his retired friends, I did him one quite some time ago. It has a perfect clean face to it. Hope this helps others trying to find some wood. don watson, red river, Jim McDonald and 8 others 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know that it's not bad. Might have to give it a try. OCtoolguy and danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be_O_Be Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 I have used the "SurePly" from the same family of products for underlayment on the kitchen floor. As per the website videos this cuts with a utility knife around obstructions. Did you notice if this was hard on the blades or about the same? 10 hours ago, James E. Welch said: Half a sheet was $25. I do recall that a 4x8 sheet was $21.00 in 2020. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barb.j.enders Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Check out @FrankEV's posts. He uses a core filled product and is happy with it. It sounds like what you are looking for. Be_O_Be and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like the blades lasted a little longer. I was using a FD #1 danny, Be_O_Be and OCtoolguy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
