I have two pieces of 4' by 4' baltic birch plywood in my shed now. My neighbor the woodworker suggested this as the best. I'm going to prime them with oil based primer on both sides, then use exterior latex paint to do the quilt squares. I'm definitely doing an Ohio star, and haven't decided the other one yet. I'm thinking of trying to sell them.
