Baltic Birch Plywood (BBP)

[wagoneer]

I'm in Lewisville - right outside Winston-Salem - and was wondering if there was a supplier of BBP closer to me than driving to Gibsonville to visit the good folks @ the Hardwood Store? Sometimes driving those 50 miles (each way) just isn't feasible when I need a piece of BBP to build a jig or fixture. By the time I pay for fuel in my old truck all I can afford is some cutoffs they are throwing out - lol!:eusa_booh

Thanks in Advance!

Can't help ya with the BBP, but what about using MDF for the jigs and fixtures? When you're in a BORG look for a really beat up sheet and talk them into letting you have it cheap.

with patience and a little planning I could perhaps help ya out . I have a pretty good stash of 1/4" X 12" X 48" bb and could part with a few pieces for ya
How much ya need ?

A little closer and worth the visit if you've not been there.

Stop by and become friends with some cabinet shops in the area. You might end up with a fairly steady supply of 'cut-offs'. And, if you need something a tad bigger they might even sell a piece occasionally to a friend.

The Wuerth group carries it and they are in Greensboro.

Steve Wall is another place to get it as suggested, but they didn't have several sizes in stock the last time I went by there.

Call Wurth and see if their truck comes to Lewisville, and if so what days. With the slowing of the economy, they are a little more customer service oriented. I find that delivery charges are less than the cost of gas and lost time. As a reference, I recently paid a little over $35 for a sheet of 12 MM (1/2") BB/BB baltic birch.

Many thanks for all the good leads. Thanks for the offer sawduster, but I'm looking for 3/4 (18 mm) stock. I'll take a raincheck though, as I'm sure the time will come that I need some 1/4" BB for something. Thanks again!

I just returned from Wall's and that place rocks! It took me about 30 minutes to get there - I live within sight of the corner of Reynolda (67) and Highway 65 (Transou) near Old Richmond Grill. It was worth the drive just to oggle over the lumber.
