Looking to buy 4x8 1/2โ plywood.
Why is birch plywood so much cheaper in Mexico?
Plywood Delivered?
Where do I find plywood like this? I've searched Home Depot, I assume Lowe's is the same. I can't find sheets of plywood this good looking. I have a local mill that I'll try tomorrow but will I find this there or do I need to work some board to get these? The pic is from a wood worker I follow
What are the shipping options for Plywood?
Which brand has the largest assortment of Plywood at The Home Depot?
What are some of the most reviewed products in Plywood?
Does anybody know what my cheapest options would be in the SF Bay Area? I have a project that Iโm working on and funds are somewhat limited. Any advice would be appreciated thank you.
[Update: Thank you all for the replies. I've learned a lot about where this stuff comes from, the difference between standard birch plywood and Baltic birch plywood, and much more. Great discussion all around.]
Can anyone explain why birch plywood is still so expensive in the USA? I cannot find 3/4" 4'x8' sheets for much under $100 where I live (Santa Fe, NM) while I am still buying it in Mexico for $46/sheet at the current exchange rate of 16 pesos/dollar. And it seems to be the same stuff, from Canada (according to the lumber store in Mexico). 1/2" is around $30/sheet.
Here's the stuff I bring back with me. I don't know if it is "Baltic" birch, but it is clean, stable, and free of voids.
