They have one version sporadically that's not pine. It's poplar or
maple or birch or some unknown tropical, but it finishes quite well.

I made a tv table out of it take a look, and yes the site looks like crap,
it's just something I knocked up one day

I have recently used some of their sanded ply, but for my project it will
not be finished (covered with other materials). However, I have a couple of
comments.

1. Even though they say "sanded", it was still pretty rough. Sanded with a
40 or 60 grit maybe. I have purchased other plywood that was smoother than
this stuff. This would still need a LOT more sanding prior to applying any
other finish or sealer.

2. It seemed very dry and brittle but I don't have a moisture meter so I
can't say for certain. It seems like it would absorb finish/sealer by the
ton.

I think it's great for utilitarian projects in the shop and shed. I have
always finished with a coat of amber shellac or paint.

Yup. Gotta remember that this came from Home Depot. I think I am going to
stop buying wood there because the wood they have (at least my local store)
is just crap.
