Birch Plywoods
for aircraft, boats, and models.

Finnish birch plywood is manufactured to GL 1 standard for aircraft construction. This standard demands microscopic inspection of veneers for faults. Plywood is available with a release note for home construction of registered aircraft.

Not only aircraft have wings! The wing sail of this C-Class catamaran was built with a birch plywood framework, then covered with cloth. The hulls are a combination of gaboon plywood sides and decks, and the bottom moulded from two layers of 1.0mm birch plywood. A slightly lower standard of birch plywood is available for marine and hobby use, and for non-structual aircraft components.

Modellers the world over use birch plywood for model aircraft, boats and railways. Birch plywood is also ideal for architectual models, and for specialist construction applications. It's waterproof glueline makes it ideal for outdoor applications.
