r/woodworking on Reddit: Was lazy and bought plywood from Lowe’s.
October 12, 2024 -
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.

Construction grade plywood isn't meant for woodworking or exposed edges. It's not a fault of Lowes that their construction materials aren't finish-grade. Everyone says big box materials are "trash", but they're not. They're good for their intended purpose, and they're readily available. In your case, you traded quality for convenience. That's not a terrible trade-off sometimes. But it is a trade-off. So you can't make that decision and then complain about the quality anyway. That's not how this works.

r/woodworking on Reddit: Plywood at Lowes…what happened?
October 25, 2022 -
I usually buy sheets of 1/2” 4x8 whitewood plywood that I cut into 20” squares for signs.
It’s been $55 forever but just jumped up to $75 in a little over a week. That’s like a 35% jump.
Any idea what happened? That’s crazy
