After countless questions about where you can find that beautiful burgandy colored phenolic coated Baltic birch we use in many of our products, here it is. This material is without question one of the finest materials you can use for shop jigs and fixtures. The multi-ply birch core is uncompromising for density and rigidity. Both sides are coated with a heavy phenolic layer to prevent moisture absorption. Try a few pieces, we think you'll understand why we use this material for everything from our drill press tables to band saw table parts.
