SOLID Plywood

[theoldwizard1]

Without getting into anything "exotic" can you buy plywood that has a solid core ? Plugs are okay, just no voids !!

Typical 1/4" underlayment should be void free

it's mostly void free, but still has some voids.
I guess the answer depends on what OP wants for thickness , finish etc

It sounds like Baltic birch will be your best bet, but what are you trying to do with it? What are your plans? Thickness needed? Weight requiremnets? Etc. You might consider 3/4” MDO product, but again depends on plans, parameters.

Try finding Baltic or Russian birch plywood now. It’s tough with the conflict and all.

Baltic Birch would be my recommendation but keep in mind its price has gone crazy with supply limitations since it's mostly a product of Russia (at least what we typically buy in the US). For domestic sources, Europly from Colombia Forest Products and ApplePly from States Industries are void free but even more expensive than Baltic birch.

Ayuh,.... Marine grade, is void free,.....

Exterior and interior wall sheathing for an RV. Probably 1/4".

No big box stores near me carry Baltic Birch. Menards has Birch, but I don't trust their brands (the marine plywood they sell on!y uses exterior rated glue !)

Check professional lumber yards and suppliers. Intermountain Wood Products carries Baltic Birch near me and primarily sells to pro's but has no issues selling to retail. If you have any woodworking stores like Rockler check them as well but prices will likely be higher

Apple Ply also fits the ticket. Pretty similar to Baltic Birch.

Marine grade plywood with exterior glue is exactly what you want! Baltic birch has exterior glue also.

REAL marine grade plywood uses "Weather and Boil Proof" glue. It also uses rot resistant imported hardwood. $$$ !!!

No. Domestic marine plywood is fir. The better imported grades, which I regularly use, are commonly made of okoume or meranti.

Imported marine plywood rots just fine. Many people believe that 'marine' means rot-proof. It doesn't.

... gotta love a post where a guy asks for suggestions, get's suggestions, then argues that it is the wrong suggestion. sheesh.

Whereas I can't vouch for being void-free, 1/4" Lauan plywood, is regularly used for small boat building. As a kid we used it for building skiffs and one of my neighbors used it to build a little tear-drop travel trailer.
