1/4" 4x8 5 or 7 ply plywood ?

Maybe Appleply

Only USA product I know that purports to compete w/ BB is ApplePly.

I got 4x8 sheets of 1/4" Finnish Birch in void-free 5 ply at Plywood and Lumber Sales, in Oakland, CA. Wasn't cheap, but then I only in modest quantities.

I saw a year or so ago that one of the major plywood manufacturers was making the equivalent to Baltic Birch in 4x8 sheets. I talked to a local supplier that knew about it. He said they won't carry it because it is a lot more expensive than regular Baltic Birch.

Thanks All! Appleply folks have a stocking distributor about 20 miles from me. I'm picking it up this afternoon.

Thanks again,

There is a product called appleply made by States Industries, I believe. They market it as an alternative to BB and it comes in 4X8. It's not made from apple, but aspen IIRC. YOu can find their web site to check it out.

Story I heard was when they were picking a name, some said it was American as Apple Pie, and that morphed into Appleply

Hard to find a stocking dealer, I would have to drive 300-400mile to find it in stock

BUT, it is great plywood, everybit as good as the Baltic/Finnish/Russian Birch for most applications and the larger sheets it comes is a definite PLUS
