Saw if for the first time locally (BORG) a couple of days ago, myself ...
they also called it ARC plywood on the sticker? The good side was sanded
nicely and was similar to birch. It apparently comes from plantation grown
trees and was damn cheap ... $28 for a 4 X 8 sheet.
The 3/4" stuff I saw had seven plys and the top veneer was either so thin
you couldn't see it from the side, or thicker than what you normally see at
HD or Lowe's. It was in the flooring section here.
I would also be interested in hearing more about it for shop stuff. DAGS
didn't offer much.

I just finished a cherry desk with a veneered top. The substrate for the
top is 3/4" Sandeply. Great stuff to work with. I'll let you know in a few
years if it holds up.
