I got an order from Amazon, and it was full of glue pockets and wouldn't cut well in my laser, it charred and wouldn't cut. So I contacted woodpeckers, thinking maybe Amazon got a bad batch. Woodpeckers sent out a replacement after a bit of a hassle, but it turned out to be the same crappy quality, full of glue and warped like crazy. I sent it back to Amazon and got a full refund instead and got mdf board from craft closet. No issues with the mdf board at all, it's wonderful. Don't recommend the Baltic birch here at all if you're using a laser to cut/engrave it.
