Auto Tuba Build Questions...

Since my local contractor/builder specialty lumber yard sells it for as little as $21 a sheet seems like the chains would sell similar. I think I understand why they don't sell $60-$80 sheets cause most of that business I guess is going to the specialty places. But the medium grade stuff would seem to me to be their bread and butter. Course I don't really know yet how these $21 sheets are gonna look after a few cuts. Gonna find out though! More learning

Meanwhile, next time, and there will be a next time I found a nearby lumber source with a nice looking 7-ply 1/2 A/C or B/C (can't remember which) for $21 a sheet. Just can't understand why Lowe or Home Depot doesn't carry it???

Dan-git!!! I can't find any decent plywood around here, except the 5 ply at one yard. And it's now just shy of US$30 a sheet!

I keep telling ya - public lumber - 7 mile and I-75. 5'x5' baltic birch. not the cheapest, and usually slightly warped, but it's good baltic. Don't get their 4'x8' birch though - it's chinese crap with the thin veneer.

Toledo Plywood, just about 15 minutes south of the border. Any size you want, no warps, including 1/8" bending ply. 5 x 5 OR 4 x 8 sheets of real BB.

Yeah, it's a drive for you. Gas is currently cheap. Get it all at once.
