tvman44 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 Has anyone ordered Baltic Birch Ply from Woodcraft? Just wondering about the quality? Quote
Fish Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 I get mine from Menards, good quality there. Quote
jscottj Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 I have in the past. Quality is ok. One good face and one with patches in it like alot of places. They had scroller packs of 12 x 12 pcs at that time also. I bought the sheets nd broke them down myself. Quote
amazingkevin Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 Oh the money you save getting a sheet at the big box stores!. I try to when i can it's like buy one get 4 free in the price difference Just today i needed some 12" smooth on one side a 2' x 2' piece was 8 bucks 4pieces is 40 bucks for half a sheet cut already in that size a full sheet was bucks .i didn't have the money to get a full sheet so i lost big time.

Scrolling Steve Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 I have purchased from Woodcraft several times.....have not been disappointed yet! Quote
tvman44 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Report Posted October 25, 2014 The big box stores here do not carry BB ply, don't even know what it is. Quote
Kragax Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 Believe it or not I have found it at (wait for it) Home Depot! I almost fell off the motorized chair! They have craft wood from time to time. I don't know if this is a regularly stocked item but I was shocked. Quote
tvman44 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Report Posted October 25, 2014 Not around here. I have called all the local lumber yards, big box stores they don't have it and say they can't get it. Some don't even know what it is. I just got off ,the phone with Sloan's and ordered some 1/8" BB Ply. Can't wait to try cutting the pattern of the Dutch Ovens I received here. Quote
Bendita Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 I remember When I lived in Canada I used to buy what they called door skins for my scrolling but its only good on one side but a heck of a lot cheaper then birch and for portrait work you only need one good side. Quote
Scrappile Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 Where I am the big box stores do not carry Baltic Birch, they carry birch plywood. From my experience, what they carry is not a good as Baltic Birch, theirs can have void in it. I guess if you can work around the voids it might work okay. Quote
GrampaJim Posted October 27, 2014 Report Posted October 27, 2014 I agree with Scrappile. Here in Wisconsin, Menards has Birch but not Baltic Birch that is not too bad. Fleet & Farm has some that I will never buy again - not good! I just got my first batch from Ocooch Hardwoods - they sell on line. Really nice! Quote
Wilson's Woodworking Posted October 27, 2014 Report Posted October 27, 2014 I found some in Hobby Lobby. I am not sure if it was Baltic Birch or just burch but it was good quality stuff and no voids. Quote
