The Chipmunk Posted December 21, 2022 Report Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Hey everyone! Glad to be part of the villageΒ . I have a question. A guy I follow on Etsy and YouTube cuts beautiful patterns, but uses 3mm laminated high density fiberboard. I've been looking, haven't been able to find where to purchase it. I usually work with 1/8" birch, but the finishing portion with sanding, staining, and varnishing is kind of a pain at times. Does anyone have suggestions for HDF? Photo of one my very first project attached from last year at Christmas. I've gotten a bit better now.Β Edited December 21, 2022 by The Chipmunk Spelling error danny, jollyred, Dan and 1 other 4 Quote
ChelCass Posted December 21, 2022 Report Posted December 21, 2022 I believe Lowes carries it.Β Also check with companies that make laminate countertops they may have scraps you can get. scrollingforsanity, The Chipmunk and OCtoolguy 3 Quote
OCtoolguy Posted December 21, 2022 Report Posted December 21, 2022 Home Depot has something called project boards that are laminated with hardwood outsides. I think they are 10x12 or so. The Chipmunk 1 Quote
Dak0ta52 Posted December 21, 2022 Report Posted December 21, 2022 Welcome to the Village. I've get laminated wood from Lowe's but it's just less than 1/4-inch. The Birch and Oak is layered where the Maple is veneer to an unknown filler, possibly some type of wood. I haven't found any 1/8-inch wood at the Lowe's in my area.

don in brooklin on Posted December 21, 2022 Report Posted December 21, 2022 Where are you located?Β You will get better answers to questions like this with a location in your profile. I have bought what is called craft boards fromΒ KJP Select Hardwood in Ottawa Ontario.Β Super company to deal with and they do ship to the US and with a 25% discount on the CDN to US$ it pays for any additional charges in shipping. There is a video that explains the 1/8 is veneered HDF.Β https://youtu.be/6InobwcKBY4 I have some 1/4 but have not tried yet. Β Β OCtoolguy and The Chipmunk 1 1 Quote
The Chipmunk Posted December 21, 2022 Author Report Posted December 21, 2022 Thank you all so much for the input.Β Β I'll check out those places and update my profile so it has a bit more info, lol. Thanks again everyone.Β OCtoolguy 1 Quote
The Chipmunk Posted December 22, 2022 Author Report Posted December 22, 2022 KJP select had them, and I already bought two of their multi packs. Thank you, Don! I did see the project boards at Home Depot and Lowes, but I needed larger sizes for this specific project I want to make. I'll post pictures later on. This is such a cool community! Very excited to be a part of it.Β Thanks! Jess ChelCass, danny and OCtoolguy 3 Quote
