Re: Thank goodness for Scandanavian plywoods...

Sad for you that you are unaware of the realities of what most U.S. plywood is made for: construction. Just visit the American Plywood Associaton site and you will see that. American furniture has always been long on solid wood unlike in Europe where, since WW II, plywood furniture with exposed end plies has been the norm.

Baltic Birch and its variants are peculiarily European just like the 32mm cabinet system which stem from the shortage of hardwood and the need to quickly re-build after WW II.

There is very high quality hardwood plywood available in the U.S. but it is little known to consumers because of availability only through wholesalers that cater to the cabinet and furniture building trade and its relatively high (to construction grade) cost.

To say that all U.S. plywood is poor quality is an uninformed opinion.
