Advantages of Baltic Birch
Baltic Birch is known for its straight wood grain, attractive pattern, and light coloration. It is also strong and durable with superior strength and stability.
Popular uses are laser cutting and engraving as well as scroll saw work. Perfect for routers, CNC and wood burning too.
Our Premium Hand Selected Baltic Birch
Our Baltic Birch is hand sorted to ensure that there are no patches on either side of our boards.
B/BB Grade Baltic Birch
With B/BB grade Baltic Birch, one side is B. This designation means that you have a clear, single piece face without any patches. BB is the backside. It is also a clear single piece but allows for color matched patches. These boards may also have some fraying on the ends and/or be slightly shorter.
While patches are subtle and color-matched, they become very obvious when stained. If you display both sides, the patch will be noticeable.

Grading: Grade B/BB but hand sorted to remove all patches for better quality boards. This means one side is Grade B and the reverse side is officially Grade BB, although we hand sort the boards to remove all patches, the most intrusive of the defects.
Here is the official grading system: Grade B – Selected one-piece face, generally light and even in color. Occasional small pin knots and some brown streaks may be allowed, but generally no patches, voids or mineral streaks. Grade BB-One-piece face generally light and even in color. Pin knots and mineral streaking or discoloration is allowed with occasional sound tight knots permitted. Remember that wood is a natural material and so grain patterns can be different than pictured.
Patches: As can be seen from the image, patches are subtle and color matched, but when stained, the patch is very obvious. If you display both sides, the patch will be noticeable.
