Birch replacement

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.

I was in lowes yesterday and saw this same stuff. I started to grab a piece just to try it but ended up not getting it. Good to know that it's not bad. Might have to give it a try.

 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?

 I do recall that a 4x8 sheet was $21.00 in 2020.

It seemed like the blades lasted a little longer. I was using a FD #1
