Birch Plywood for Wooden Form

Birch is a hardwood, typical of northern Europe, from which a marine plywood with good stability and high mechanical strength is made. This plywood is industrially treated with special resins that make it ideal for uses in humid conditions for this much used in shipyards for boat construction. Compared to traditional plywoods (which generally have only 3 layers) it is made from several thin sheets of wood arranged in a cross-fiber pattern and glued together with phenolic glue.

In violin making they have always been used for making violin and viola internal mould.
