My local home center has started stocking baltic birch pre-sanded plywood, great stuff but I cannot seem to finish it. If I try to stain its very blotchy, and if I shellac its too pale for my taste.
The stain was Minwax Gunstock Interior wood stain and the shellac was Zissner clear shellac if it helps.
Any seasoned folks out there have tips for staining this stuff?
