I need a piece of 2'x2'x1/8" stain grade plywood for the back of a shadow box for mineratures. Anybody know a place in Raleigh to get a small piece like this?
I wonder if the new Woodcraft will have it when they open?
I have some 1/4" mahogany plywood that will work if I can't find any 1/8" but I would rather have the 1/8". This shadow box doesn't have to be made like a tank (my normal operating mode).
I could have done it with a couple of pieces of 1/8" thick mahogany from Klingspoor but at $10/sq ft that was a little too much cost wise. I'd be more willing to buy a whole sheet of 1/8" plywood (if I could find it) rather than pay those prices.
An alternative...anybody ever make a sled for their thickness planer and try to plane solid stock down to 1/8"? 1st thought is if it breaks up while being planed it is going to make one heck of a noise and probably jamb up the planer real good.
The rest of the box is going to be made out of mahogany.
