    Question Baltic Birch

    Anyone know a good place to find large boards of Baltic Birch plywood in Central Virginia (Lynchburg)?

    I can get smaller boards (12" x 24") at the local Michaels, or an hour trip to Roanoke will score me some medium sized boards (24" x 30") at Woodcraft, but a few plans I am looking at call for 60" x 60" boards, and I don't know where to start looking. The local Borg does not carry Baltic Birch.

    Any thoughts? I have some Christmas $$$ burning a hole in my pocket and want to stock up on some lumber.

    There use to be a Allied plywood near Winchester VA that sold 60"x60" Baltic Birch Ply.

    Hicksvlle lumber in ClearSpring Md also sells it and they sell all kinds of dried hardwood rough lumber at a even better price! They are mentioned often on these boards from folks in the DC, VA, PA and MD areas.

    Go South

    HAve you tried Steve Wall Lumber? He is about 60-90 minutes south of you in Madison, NC. I have had good luck with his BB ply.

    You might try contacting a local cabinet shop and ask where they get theirs. They may be willing to sell a few sheets. Years ago before I had any catalogs to order from I purchased some drawer glides from a local shop.
    we all can see what we should be, but knowing is not controlling

    Hi Joe,

    Do a search for Apple Ply. I think they have a distributor list on their web site. Apple Ply comes in 4X8 sheets though.
