Re: Can't find 1/8 inch birch?
Bill, can the 3/8" be used for builds? BB is totally unavailable around me. I live close to Tim Ard, but he tells me he can't get BB either.Bill Fitzmaurice wrote:This place has 3/8" and 1/8" bendable ply:

BTW, I want to build a fleet (8 total) DR250s and T48s with it

Re: Can't find 1/8 inch birch?
I purchased the 1/8" bendable Italian Poplar from this site for use on a couple of DR250's. So far it seems to be holding up in the horn throat assemblies (haven't done the rear sheaths yet). However, be aware that it is single ply with a veneer layer on one side. I used a dovetail saw to cut off the overhang when putting together my horn throat assemblies, and I had to saw in one direction only. If I went the other way, the plywood would tear away from the veneer face.Bill Fitzmaurice wrote:This place has 3/8" and 1/8" bendable ply:

Re: Can't find 1/8 inch birch?
at Rockler's, I got 4 20"x30" panels for $7 each or so. They had smaller panels, but they are cut to bend on the short axis, not the long.
