Different grade birch ply for DIY units...

[antburt1]

Hi everyone. I'm going to take on the challenge of making some units for the t6. I can't get my head around the cost of pre made.
Anyway, I've had a look at birch ply and it seems there are a few different grades which determines the quality (and of course the price!). I'm thinking to just lightly oil it so I'd like a grade that is going to look nice, relatively untreated. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Or experience of building their own units out of birch? Thanks

Following this thread, in a similar boat. Nearly caved in and bought pre made, the cost is astronomical for what you get.

15mm birch ply around £50 per sheet some had laminate repairs, so I just cut panels to suit.
Finished with screwfix no nonsense water based satin finish, they are pretty tough.
