Real Arauco Plywood at Home Depot

#1 Post by jjohnson »

Arauco Plywood at Home Depot! :hyper: Now I just have to figure out if they can get me 1/2". :confused:

I bought this sheet to make a new crosscut sled and some new jigs when I found it at the local store.

I've only seen them have this "Cabinet Grade" wood once before in the five years I've been shopping there. I was amazed - I bought the stuff since it looked pretty good and didn't know it was the name brand stuff until I got it to the shop. Maybe I'll run by Lowe's tomorrow but I didn't see any last time I was there. Paid $24 for the 3/4" and my local lumber yard charged me over $30 for the 1/2" stuff last year and it wasn't that good.

I guess due to competition, they have to offer Arauco like Lowes. I'm sure they will bring in 1/2" soon.

Couldn't find it at Lowes when I looked over the weekend... Hope they bring in the 1/2" - think I'll ask next time I'm there to see if I can special order it.

I went to pick up some arauco at Lowe's today. I had to move 12 sheets before I could find an acceptable piece. They're typically in much better shape but not this batch.
