kenreichq Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I was watching some Carter Johnson videos about making jigsaw puzzles and he said he preferred using 1/4” poplar plywood for his puzzles. Anyone know where you can buy poplar plywood? Also, is there a special type of poplar plywood to get that won’t have voids or is all of the poplar plywood solid and “void” of voids? HA!

ben2008 Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Home Depot sells poplar plywood. I have had good luck with their plywood. I just ordered a piece of 4' x 4' maple , good one side 1/4" plywood and am very satisfied. Took about a week to get it delivered. it was free shipping also.

NC Scroller Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 If you read any of Carter Johnson's articles carefully it is important to note he use 5 Ply 1/4" poplar core plywood. The make up of the core is the key. Not all poplar plywood you buy is 5 Ply poplar core so shop carefully. https://www.columbiaforestproducts.com/library/reference-guides/grading-guide/core-types/ Roberta Moreton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a lot of ¼" ply and always look for the 5ply as it's a beautiful wood to cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Carter used the poplar ply because of the lower price, but you can use 5 ply BB and not have an issue. The main difference in the two, is the price. What I've found to be a real good product for puzzle cutting, is the 5' by 5' sheets of underlay, it is often made of poplar, and there's no voids in it, plus it's quite a lot cheaper then most other plywood.
