"Nice" plywood

[DavidF]

I may be looking for some furniture grade plywood for some doors, Maple faced or maybe apple something light with not a pronounced grain but interesting looking - I know, a difficult criteria. It would be for modern kitchen doors; not F&P so too much figure would be over powering - any suggestions as to what and where?

The Hardwood Store. Used to have a price list here somewhere, included different varieties of plywoods. got it from one of the woodworking stores in GSO last time I was up that way. (don't remember what the reason to be in GSO, heck may have been Raleigh, too, was, but it sure was fun to visit the store.)

Is that the hardwood store of NC in Gibsonville?

Gso???

 

[NCPete]

sorry, and I just posted about abreviations... GSO = Greensboro in airport talk, kinda thought it had been used before...?

$105 a sheet for most of the hardwood plywoods including the quartersawn white oak in 1/4 or 3/4 inch. Very nice stuff. Last time I was there I bought both the qswo (quarter sawn white oak) and cherry and have been happy with the quality of both, price I was a bit shocked at, but so is life.

The Hardwood store in Gibsonville. I have been going there for years. I even used to deal with Jeff (I think the owner) when he used to work at Steve Wall lumber.

Here is the link to their web site:

Have you tried Jackson in Fuquay-Varina?
I bought a sheet of Ivorywood for a TV stand; it's in my gallery. Cheapest stuff he had @ $16.00.
