You need to finish the project with an outdoor finish. Paint is a good choice. Make sure you use waterproof glue.
Gardening has been growing in the US for a few years. 2020 just added to those numbers. People spent an average of 42% more time in their garden last year. Some of that was because we spent more time at home and some of it was a fear of possible food shortages.
Whatever the reason for more time in the yard may be, it is a positive because it has so many health benefits.
I use a lot of Baltic birch plywood. Keep in mind that I am cutting prototypes. Very rarely do my projects see the light of day. There are projects that BB plywood is suitable for. Toys, ornaments, portraits, puzzles, and novelty items are all fine cut from BB ply.
Some projects call for a nice hardwood. Nice jewelry boxes, home decor items, and intarsia projects all come to mind. Unfortunately, hardwood is expensive and difficult to find in thin sizes.
The video above discusses the pros and cons of Baltic birch plywood. It also gives a few tips on working with the material. It is published by The Woodworkers Source so the information is accurate and helpful. Ironically, I checked their web page for their prices on BB ply and they are out of stock on all sizes. Their prices are reasonable.
