Measures are exact and quality is the best.

Go to General Scrollsawing and in upper right  you can type in 'Wood Source' or something similar.

Lots of posts on this subject.

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.

I looked on your profile to see where you live. I was going to Google search for hardwood suppliers and also cabinet maker companies they have some nice maple scraps. Good luck

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.

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.

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.

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.

hey,sam!

are you addicted to scrolling yet?LOLOL

 

iffen ya look up top of the page here theres a tab titled "wood finder."

ive gotten my ply on ebay from KC hardwoods woodworking supplies. free shipping,too, for the ply.

and also ocooch hardwoods.good prices in scrollsaw ready hardwoods,too. both have been very good quality ply at a good price.

seems that a good price for 1/8" bb ply is about a buck a square foot and $2 a square foot for 1/2"

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.
