Scrappile Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I but my Baltic Birch from local lumber yards. Comes in 5 ft. x 5 ft. sheets. We now have a Winsor Plywood Company in our area now. Great source for all kinds of wood. amazingkevin and GrampaJim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Scroller Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Sam as I have no idea where your from because your hiding everything I can't answer your question. Roly LarryEA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ike Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I get most of my wood from a saw mill. but Popular comes from Paxton Woods @ $ 2.00 / $2,25 per board foot. they have Baltic Burch 5' X 5' FOR $ 28. Getting wood 1/2 thickness is real hard to find around here Places where thay do have it it is too high for my blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browders Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I posted this earlier, but I recently discovered that the craft store Michael's has a supply of baltic birch plywood. It comes in smaller sizes and may be a little more expensive than other outlets, but it is the only source in my town. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crupiea Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Tough to buy unless you have the right stores nearby. pretty much forget home depot or lowes or jumbo lumber yards. i discovered a specialty cabinet makers type store here that carries about 40 different types of plywood. every size baltic birch you can imagine. Look for some specialty places like that and they will have it. its common for them. fair prices too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Jay Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I get Baltic Birch at a specialty store about 50 miles away, Edensaw, for around $25 per sheet, or a $1 per square foot.. It is mostly used for backer material. Actual scrolling wood is locally sourced, finding someone selling logs and a local sawmill to slice it in the desired thickness. I usually go for 1/4" so I can sand it and remove all the saw marks. Natural edge is best for my markets, yours may vary.

Lilly Smith Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I have priced Ocooch hardwoods and they are much higher that the Southbend, IN Johnson's Workbench. I get a larger piece of Purpleheart for about $60, but then I cut it in half so I have two pieces, then plane the pieces to the size I want.
