Dave, I just picked up some 3/4 birch from HD 2 days ago it's 5 ply but seems very good 39.95 a sheet very smooth finish and cuts well. Splinters are something you must deal with. When cutting, a finer blade saw and some masking tape works great. Drilling is a problem though always seems to "rip" the other side but I'm very happy with it.

Thanks, I'll look at it too, but 5-ply was what I was disappointed by at Lowe's. It was Maple and Oak though, not Birch. Maybe I was being too critical though based on all the comments I've read about plywood. Either way, I'm convinced that although I like Lowe's for many things and it's closer, when it comes to big box, HD is where I should look for wood.
