NC Scroller Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Check with your local lumber yards. Not Lowe's or Home Depot. Also look for any local kitchen remodeling contractors. They may not be a source but they might know where to get it locally. Also look at lumber in Buffalo. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

Denny Knappen Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 I buy all my wood from Ocooch Hardwoods. OCtoolguy and scrollingforsanity 2 Quote
Scrappile Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Another option is Cherokee Woods. https://www.cherokeewood.com/baltic-birch-plywood/ You can purchase it in 12" x 12" pieces or full sheets that they will cut to several sizes you can choose from.

Since it is located 45 minutes through traffic I hesitate to drive there due to old age. I can but don't like to. So before I make the trip can you tell me if they cut down the 5 foot piece? If not how do you transport it? I do not have a pickup any longer and it will not fit my Durango. I could have my wife drive but she likes to put the pedal to the metal and makes my knuckles turn white! OCtoolguy 1 Quote

I guess my wife could call but I am so deaf I cannot use a phone. My wife usually accompanies me wherever I go to communicate for me. But thank you. You did answer my question. If they cut in Cincinnati I'm sure they do in Denver. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
OCtoolguy Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 I have purchased from Anderson Plywood in Anaheim, Ca. and they cut it for me to put in my little Scion XB when I had it. They are a great company and the owner is a Vet with a small museum in his place of business. Anyone who actually visits there will be given the tour if they ask. http://www.aitwood.com Quote
NC Scroller Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Puzzle do you get up to Buffalo much? Searching the web I see several lumber suppliers who would likely have it. Mosher and Advantage. My supplier is 2 hours away. I combine me trip there with other errands in that direction and I usually pick up 5 or 6 sheets. Enough to last me a year or more. BTW my wife went to SUNY Fredonia so I have been there. Nice area except for during the winter. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
ike Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Rockytime I have a paxton within 15 mkiles from my house I and I have them cut it into quarters at no charge. ddthey also have 1/2 wood useallly soft maple of popular which I always pick up a board when I go in.It's like going into a candy store.

cowboyup3371 Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) CR Lumber here outside of Xenia OH ships all over the place and has some great quality wood/prices. Check out http://crlumber.com - the price list he has there is up to date as well - Edited January 11, 2020 by cowboyup3371 Correcting Link OCtoolguy 1 Quote
Woodmaster1 Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) I get mine from lljohnsons Workbench in Charlotte MI. I could go to South Bend IN same distance either way but a nicer drive to Charlotte. The Baltic Birch is: 1/8" $9.11, 1/4" $15.95 and they cut the 5x5 plywood down for me. It is a 90 mile drive either way. So when I go my list is long because I get band saw blades, stain, finish exotic wood, and domestic hardwood.

Nice area except for during the winter. Thanks for the tip ! appreciate very much - I see it on places like Amazon , but im not sure about which direction the grain is on various odd sizes , and if i could buy it in 5' x 5' sheets Their would be little waste - probably use 1/2 as much - plus I may need some for displays - been using a light colored mahogany lu-anne, but recently been only able to find the darker underlay stuff ( not as nice ) By the way thanks for the nice things you said about Fredonia - were so close to Lake Erie that we dont get as much snow as some people - but the winds here can be something else - our college is outstanding , they have world class music performers their all the time sometimes for free !
