In the for-what-its-worth department, Catawba Hardwoods (Hickory & Marion) carries Russian Baltic Birch in 5' x 5' sheets -- 1/4" is $11; 1/2" is $18 and 3/4" is $26. Actual thickness are 6 mm, 12 mm and 18 mm. I've used all three sizes and have only seen one very small void in some of the 12 mm. The sheets I've bought (straight off the stack) were all clear on one side and max of two well matched patches on the reverse side.

Well, I went an picked up a fair amount of this plywood today. It's really nice quality birch plywood with 13 plys in the 3/4". Most averaged 16" - 21" in width, all 60" long. Though probably better as a paint grade for most, an extremely nice plywood for only $3 each. 
They have a ton of this stuff. It is used in their production outfit and these are the "scraps" that are too small for the part they make with a CNC router system.
This stuff would be GREAT for cabinetry that is going to be veneered, or painted.
The lady who works there, Heather, was very nice and said that they often have these extra piece and they are always for sale at this price.  | |

Sounds like great material for making shop cabinets, shelves, fixtures and jigs. I use 12 mm Baltic Birch for drawer sides and 6 mm for bottoms.

It is nice stuff and will be great for the jigs and other stuff (bookcases & shop cabinets come to mind!) | |
