Plastic coats,Plastic,Aluminum, Paint,Lacquers, French polish, Oil? So pick your cab material, veneer or other, finish choice what even you like? For me birch plywood with veneer and french polish.

Are you saying you like plywood covered in a veneer? Typically when you say birch plywood, it references a layered material with a birch face veneer.

My preference is for figured veneers (fiddleback anigre, waterfall bubinga...) with a precatalyzed lacquer finish - hand rubbed appearance, not high gloss. As far as cabinet material, I've been using mdf lately, but am interested in using 12 layer plywood material in the near future.
