jerry1939 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I have always bought BB ply from Sloan's, 12" X 24". Make a lot of crucifixes "about 18" tall, so I end up searching for ways to use the scrap. For fretwork, I buy "Good Both Sides" so that I have 2 side to choose from. Noticed that D&D stocks 12" X 36", which would be ideal. Do any of you buy ply from them, and if so, what are your thoughts on quality/blemishes? (I am a real fussy son-of-a-gun). jerry OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmmcrafts Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I've never bought plywood from DND.. didn't know they sold plywood etc.. I will say bought several times from them for blades and drill bits.. Those small drill bits have been the best I've found..and they come in little plastic tubes so you can store them like you do blades.. Anyway.. their service has always been top notch for me.. If I placed an order today it's be in my mail in two says usually.. Wish I could say about he plywood quality.. But I cannot.. I will say many times it's more about the pallets of ply they get in.. My local source for BB Ply said many times the good one side is as good as the two side stuff.. and they have had blemished stuff that was supposed to be good two sides.. as if they mix in a few bad from time to time. Might have just been end of shift or a switch over at the factory... I typically buy the cheaper one and do my own sorting.. I have to say if you specifically buy good two sides then that is what you should get.. since most times the good one side is as good as the good two sides.. Does the plywood they sell say good two sides? I'd give them a call or email and ask what the quality of the ply is.. They may specifically look for good two side if you request it.. they seem to be a quality company with awesome customer service..

I just did a screen capture of the description that Cherokee has on the page for 12" x 12" squares that I am thinking of ordering. I'm not sure about the description on the page for full sheets. I'll check it out when I'm done with this post. Ok, see below for the sheet info. Keep in mind that the price includes shipping. That, in itself, can be quite a savings.

kmmcrafts Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Probably not a bad price for someone that has to mail order.. I buy 10-20 sheets at a time so the savings for me is better to drive the 25-30 minute drive and sort through my own sheets.. My price per sheet is $12 for 5x5x 1/8 and I think it's $13 for 1/4..
