GOOD SUPPLIER OF HARDWOOD PLY?

[lpolizzi]

Does anybody use a hardwood veneer plywood supplier they are happy with? Thanks.

Sure do. Doubtful that it would make sense for you to pay for freight from the Bronx to Florida, though. ;)

R: You would be surprised at how many times I would have considering how hard it sometimes gets to find what I need here!

The one I was referring to is called Honerkamp

big candy store. It might be worth a phone call to see what the damage would be or if they could recommend a place near you.

Good luck with your hunt.

Yes, but you are a long way from Texas.

One additional though: What grade? The Borg sells what they call cabinet grade. Most of the posters here want something more like A-1 or B-2. Real finicky ones would want A-A grade.

Yes, at least here in SoCal.

That stuff is so often garbage. Even if it arrives in a store as a decent product, the local handling, by customers and employees, often beats it up.

To the OP, have you tried these guys?

If they won't sell directly to you, try contacting your hardwood suppliers and/or small local cabinet shops, and see if you can get what you need from Dixie via them. If you have any good friends with a tax number (retail store, etc...), you can frequently purchase through them.

My favorite local hardwood mill is up the street from a large northeastern plywood and composite vendor. Anything the plywood vendor has can be had the next day via the hardwood retailer.

Large cabinet or stair shops may sell from their own stock, don't overlook them.

One last tip. If you can find cabinet shop to sell to you, be aware they probably won't take credit cards, discuss the payment arrangements up front.
