Was lazy and bought plywood from Lowe’s.
Anybody work with the 1/8" maple plywood from Lowes? - Beyond the Manual - Glowforge Owners Forum
Where to find 4x8' sheets of 1/8" wood/plywood?
don't buy plywood from Home Depot or Lowe's - All Other Activities, Gear & Resources - Offroad Passport
Good plywood on top from Boulter Plywood north of Boston (a 3 hour round trip for me). Horrible plywood from Lowe’s (a 15 min round trip for me). Both are 3/4” “Maple” plywood, but I swear the Lowe’s wood has a finish on it. It is shiny and very smooth. The inner ply’s are garbage. I normally don’t mind exposed plywood edges on my personal projects but I can’t do that with the Lowe’s wood.
I have a project with requires about 70 pieces of 1/8" thick wood, 5.5"x7.25", plus a few other pieces. Basically, I need a 4x8 sheet's worth of 1/8" wood.
Home depot sells 4x8 sheets of 1/8" thick hardboard which would work but wouldn't be as nice. I could redesign the whole project to use 1/4" material but that would be a pain and it would end up larger than I'd like.
So, is it possible to find sheets of 1/8" wood? If so, where should I be looking? Or should I just use hardboard? Is MDF an option?
Cost is a factor. Also, I don't really know what I'm doing so feel free to make other suggestions.
Thanks!
