This was such a disappointment. I expected a little bit of warping, but no effort was made at all to mitigate the warping when it was packaged. They weren’t just warped, but twisted too. Without soaking the wood and forcing it to dry flat, the wood was pretty much worthless and unusable.

Warped
Most of the sheets are warped and unusable for laser projects. I tried to use one of the flat ones and the laser wasn't able to cut through the majority of the board. Even after multiple passes, still wouldn't fully cut through. This is going back to the store, it's garbage.

    I use this on my laser cutter and it cuts very well. I have found there are usually at least one seam on a side and one or two knots on the reverse. But I can cut around those.

    Look elsewhere for 1/4 birch for quality reasons
    From 2020 to mid 2022, Columbia forest products was always my go to. They always had quality wood. The orders I have had coming in from the last half of 2022- current have been awful. All 10 sheets are unusable if your purchase purpose was for laser cutting for the last 3 sets I have ordered. All 10 sheets have a quarter inch void through the entire center, making it so any laser design you do will be ruined with these sheets. I wish their quality control was more consistent.

      I bought these panels to use with a laser cutter, one of the uses that is recommended for them, and they did not disappoint. They cut very cleanly and produce very little smoke, far less than other wood I have worked with. They're a good size for the bed of many laser cutters, and are big enough for many projects, especially projects that you will be building with lightweight wood like this.

      I purchased 2 boxes of this wood to cut on my laser. There is too much glue in these pieces as I can’t cut completely through them. This is not acceptable, I have never had this issue before.
