12 Pack Basswood Sheets for Crafts-12 x 12 x 1/8 Inch- 3mm Thick Plywood Sheets with Smooth Surfaces-Unfinished Squares Wood Boards for Laser Cutting, Wood Burning, Architectural Models, Staining

I purchased the "12 Pack Basswood Sheets for Crafts-12 x 12 x 1/8 Inch- 3mm Thick Plywood" for the purpose of cutting with my diode, tabletop laser for some crafty projects to sell and gift. I've used Lauan plywood in the past, but was looking for something thinner (3mm vs 5mm) and harder/denser. I've seen plenty of reviews for different items stating that the boards they purchased were not flat, and that was a primary concern for me. My laser head sits close to the material, and anytime there is much variance in product height there is a chance the laser head will drag or move the product, resulting in wasted time and product.The plywood I received was without blemishes, and flat. What more can I say?After cutting the plywood I do see that there is sometimes warpage in the material. But it was flat when I received it, and also when I put it on my grid to cut. I don't think it's humidity. What happens, I believe, is that the material heats up from the laser (more in some places than others) and it warps slightly from that. Remember, it is layers glued together. I've cut out a large (nearly 12" x 12") monogram, and afterwards it had zero warpage. When I have done Christmas tree ornaments with a lot of detailed close cuts I see slight warpage, but nothing that has been noticed by others.I hope this is helpful!

I have already ordered a bigger pack of this wood for more projects. The wood cuts well on my Atezr 10W laser and looks good when i finish it with paint or stain. It did have a piece that was decently warped but i used magnets for my laser bed to hold it flat and it was still usable.

I am able to get consistent laser results. Some pieces a bit warped

These worked great for the little puzzle shelf I made! I couldn’t find a shelf to hold our puzzles for less than $120, so I bought these, some little brackets, and used some scrap wood for the bones. Worked great! These are nice and sturdy and straight for the most part. Would recommend!

Great value. I bought these as seat bases for my dining chair cushions. The cushions sagged and I wanted a hard backer between the seats and the wooden chair frame. These did the trick. They were easy to cut to size, smooth and well finished, and easy to screw through. The chairs now feel like $1000 chairs instead of $250 ones.

The finish on both sides of the boards looks good and clean. The boards are uniform size and thickness. Unfortunately, when I remove each one from its protective packaging, it warps and does not lie flat on the laser cutter. This would be okay for sawing with a regular saw, but won't work well for me with a laser cutter.

I bought these some time ago but hadn't had an occasion to use them until just recently. I was quite pleased with the result. They were part of a modeling project done in my home workshop. They're easy to work with, the grade is good and the look is attractive when complete. Good craft material in a handy thickness and size and a reasonable price.
