I found Baltic Birch Plywood quasi-locally...
http://hardwoodstore.com/ Gibsonville, NC 27249 has 1/8" through 1" Baltic Birch in 5 X 5 sheets...
If you buy 3 or more (mix and match sizes) they give you $5 off per sheet, so that is $20 per sheet for 1/8" with the discount... 1/2" is $39 per sheet which isn't too bad either...
I wish I'd found these guys sooner...

Re: Baltic Birch Plywood in North Carolina
I just found 1/2" 5 ply radiata at Lowes for $29 (Stafford VA). It may be making a comeback in these parts.
BFM rig:
6 OT12
4 T48
4 WH8
Other:
56 box Electrotec LabQ rig
Way too many cables

I hope I don't jinx it by saying so, but I just bought 5x5 BB for $22 a sheet. I don't understand why it's so high everywhere else.

The Lowes near my dad in Greensboro only had blondewood as a 5-ply... the veneer on that is so thin that it has only one side - I mean it looks like it is part of the ply below it...

3/4 aracuo ply has been available at hd for ages now in nc, but 1/2 has yet to surface. Again, call hood distribution in high point nc. I'm paying 28 a sheet for 5x5 at the raleigh location

Re: Baltic Birch Plywood in North Carolina
I called them; they told me that they don't sell to the public and to try the place I linked. The fact that you have a NC tax number at your disposal probably gets you around that.sine143 wrote:3/4 aracuo ply has been available at hd for ages now in nc, but 1/2 has yet to surface.

My dad doesn't do much woodworking for hire (he's an ISO9000 auditor, so he isn't home all that much during the week), so he doesn't have a tax number or other stuff that would allow him to be classified as non-retail.
If I can plan better in the future, I'll see how to get around it myself.
