Downside Negatives of Using Baltic Birch Plywood

On the downside of using Baltic birch is that the toplayer can come off under certain circumstances. Glue doesn't realy soak in because it can't get by the glue layer in between. So to make the strongest glue-connections, you can enlarge the surface area or cut the panels under an angle of 45 degrees. It's not completely neccesary because as soon as the cabinet is completed it will have much more strenght. But if you aim for the best construction just keep it in mind.

Benefit of the cutting under 45 degrees (in the woodshop) is that you can make the cabinet in just a few hours while using nothing but glue and clamps. When using screws into the sides of the panels you should pre-drill the holes with an drill 1 or 2 mm smaller (as with MDF).
