kmmcrafts Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 I always get mine locally at http://theworkbench.com/ in full 60" x 60" sheets... I mostly only use 1/8".. They were out of stock for a long time due to the covid? stuff so I ordered a couple boxes of 12" x 12" from Cherokee https://www.cherokeewood.com/ and while it was more money I also found the sheets I received never had any of the football patches.. maybe I was lucky that order or maybe they sort it out of the smaller pieces.. I was really impressed with the quality.. I believe it was free shipping back then but maybe that has changed. Being I sell online and have a good idea of shipping cost I believe I was paying nearly the same price as I get it locally but the shipping would be extra cost.. Not sure I made that clear.. basically I feel like the plywood is priced the same but I paid extra because of shipping which is why it cost me more. However it was nice to not have to process ( cut down to usable sizes ).. which the local source will do but they also charge that extra for too which if I wanted the 12 x 12 pieces then the price would be really comparable. I mostly only use it for ornaments so the 12 x 12 worked out good, but if you're doing portraits then larger sizes might be a better option. The convenience of not having to cut down the big sheets has made me almost consider just buying it from these guys and paying the little extra. I also really like the "project panels" from Home Depot.. though a bit more money.. very nice to work with and my laser cuts it much better than BBply. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Columbia-Forest-Products-5-32-in-x-1-ft-x-1-ft-7-in-PureBond-Maple-Plywood-Project-Panel-10-Pack-4940/312284408 They have maple, birch, walnut and maybe a few others.

JJB Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 I used to get it at Woodcraft, but they as well as Rockler have stopped selling it. I'm not sure of where else you can source it, but I bet there is a place online that will have it. Kris Martinson and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill WIlson Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 The Pittsburgh Rockler carries it. I typically get it at a local hardwood lumber yard, but they haven't stocked it in any quantity for some the past several years. I bought some on-line, for the first time, a couple years ago, but I can't recall the name of the place.
