    Plywood in hickory nc

    Hi all, it’s been a minute since I dropped in. I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to get plywood in the Hickory area? I’m looking for 1/8 (3mm) birch plywood locally.

    Nuke the Trojan Man

    Well.. although, I got a giggle out of the post, I removed it. May be somewhat out of line for some of our younger site members. I sent out PMs to the 2 member's post I deleted, as well as the Moderators of the Off topic forum. I think I copied Tracy as well.. but I can't remember if I copied...

    Did anyone throw this post into moderation? I noticed multiple posts in the same thread. I think this is the same guy that was looking for a source of wood to export a few weeks ago.
