Badly warped - don't get this if you need FLAT pieces of wood
Waste of money. I bought these to use as the base for resin paintings while I'm still practicing and learning, figuring if they weren't the best quality that would be okay since I wasn't planning to display or sell the paintings on it anyway.However, resin paintings must be FLAT AND LEVEL in order to turn out properly, or else there will be patchy spots where the resin drained away while it was still liquid, and thick spots where it pooled. I pulled out and primed FOUR of these boards at once, and out of those four, I could *maybe* use ONE of them. All four were varying degrees of warped, from "yeah, if I hold it up at eye level and look at it I can see some curve, but I can probably make this work" to "oh dear god what is happening here?" A 25% usability rate is unacceptable to me for something I'm spending money on. I won't be buying these again.

Love the 12x12 Birch
Size and color is just what I needed for my model log cabin and horse barn. However you need to weight it done because it will warp if left alone.I will just add to this post for now, because it fits right in with what I've done. I cut mine in strips and used it for trim around windows and doors. and have been waiting for other things like fences for my bench top bandsaw and drill press. I sure would like to find some 1/8 sq dowell rods for trim and for trim for holding glass in the small window frames. actually anything in1/8 or so.just not rd. some molding would be better if it is1/8 quarter round. thanks Ray Myers

Update for recent 2 star review
I contacted the company about 5 out of 8 warped boards received in my order (for which I gave a 2 star review). They answered quickly and sent a replacement for all 8 boards. The replacement boards are MUCH better. Not perfect, (2 boards are slightly warped), but 85% better than the original boards. I had bought 8" boards from this company before and they were fine.Thanks to Woodpeckers for their excellent customer service. I am happy with the replacements.

Consistent
I found this 3 mm(1/8 inch) birch plywood to be consistent in thickness from one sheet to the next. This important when using in a laser engraver. The "B" side is very nice and uniform. The "BB" side has very small/no imperfections. Worked perfectly in my Glowforge! There is some warpage in the sheets. Nothing that can't be overcome with some hold-downs.

Disappointed 😤
I have ordered Woodpecker wood in different sizes and I have always had good luck. This is the first time I had to wait for about a week or so. When I receive the wood I was very disappointed. Three of the sheet's had black marks on one side. Also the wood is ruff and will definitely require more sanding. The other times I have gotten a good quality products. This time I find myself rather disappointed.
