    I bought some lumber core red oak from HD a few weeks ago. It was decent stability-wise, but the quality of the good face was a lot lower than the one I bought at my local full-service lumberyard.

    Plywood Cost

    To match up with some very old (1950's) cabinet doors in my parent's home I bought some unusual plywood yesterday. It was really spendy, and I'm wondering if I got robbed or not. Comments welcomed....
