HAHA, oh boy! Most wood available in Argentina! Even though they promise dried, only means that it’s not actually dripping. The good stuff is probably exported.

I’ve posted an image of a recently [veneered] test piece. Check out the edge banding… no uniformity at all.
This is considered to be a *”good” plywood over here with 1 good pine side and the other, not so much [eucalyptus]. Price wise, it’s borderline, although the better stuff is almost twice the price without much improvement in quality.
Euca is great if you need flexible, springy, durable stock that will take the weather, but it’s painful to sand and splinters like crazy on the edges.
Kiri ROCKS though, and paraiso is something that also caught my attention lately… I think that I’m going to ditch using any kind of plywood here in favor of these two for a while.
