Looking For Plywood

[bud_olsen]

I am trying to find some place I can get B C plywood in large quantities at cheaper price then Lowe's or Home Depot in North or South Carolina?

Thanks
Bud

I use Hardwoods-inc.com
maybe they have a branch close enough to serve you. They are a nation wide company with good prices on hardwood lumber and all plywoods

I buy Marine ply from McEwen...they have locations all over the Carolinas.

Dealer Imports in Huntersville, NC might keep it. Also Locust Lumber in Monroe or Locust, NC sells alot of it. Worth a try.

any decent lumberyard should be able to do it and deliver it for free. just get on the phone and make a few calls.

This may be a very general statement but, the Chineese plywood that I have tried (from 3 different suppliers) would work great for curved walls. The last load I got I sent back because I couldn't even get it to hold down with my 2 Fein vac table. 10 pieces of domestic Cherry on Chineese ply had a 6 in. bow. I'm not opposed to buying import, but for now I'll stick with domestic. Don't buy a large quanity until you check it out.

It depends on what you mean by "large quantity". If you mean a tractor trailor load, then a distributor should be able to quote you some good prices (dixie-ply etc...)

If you mean a unit or two, my experience is going to Home Depot, Lowe's or a dealer with a trailer so they can load the ply by forklift and offering to pay cash gets the best discounts.

A few years ago I was buying bunks of Baltic Birch and posted an inquiry on wood web. I was shocked that an industrial distributor quoted and delivered at 1/2 of other lumber yards. So for whatever reason industrial suppliers here do not sell to cabinet shops etc but in this case they really knocked off a ton on the sheet cost. I just had to make them understand I was not a cabinet maker so they could calssify me as an industrial account.
Hope all is well Bud and good to see you posting. Its been a while.
