The birch veneer is actually accounts for a small portion of the plywood's density. The core layers are more important. The Purebond plywood that I see at my local home despot is probably from Columbia Forest Products. According to their website, my plywood on the east coast is composed of a combination of aspen and fir layers. Birch has a density of 670 kg/m3, Aspen 420 kg/m3, and Fir 530 kg/m3. If you don't know what kg/m3 means, I did an estimate on the math. Guessing that the board is 2/3 Fir and 1/3 Aspen, and neglecting the millimeter of birch on top, the weighted average density is 494 kg/m3 or about 31 lb/ft3. If you still don't know what lb/ft3 means, basically a 4 by 8 sheet of plywood, 3/4" thick, should weight about 59 pounds. A half inch thick sheet, should weight about 39 pounds; and a quarter inch thick sheet should weigh in at around 18 pounds.
