I've been working with 1/8" plywood lately and wondered if there is a supplier of 1/8" that's not Baltic Birch of Finnisih. Any suggestions?
Because she wants hardwood plywood.I'm curious. Why are you using 1/8" ply for your projects but don't want BB (Finnish is the same as BB).

Using Finnish would be fine. I'm wanting to add variety to my pieces and have had little success with staining either.

Baltic Birch plywood has many qualities that scrollers like (void free, multi ply, minimum warping, etc) but it does not stain well. Yes hardwood plywood is available in thicker plywood (1/4" and greater ) but the thicker plywood is not well suited for all projects. I would love to be able to get maple, cherry, and oak.Isn't that plywood with hardwood face veneers? The core layers are probably not hardwood.
I used some Cherry hardwood ply in 1/8" that I got from The Hardwood Store. It was the kind with an MDF core. Had to buy a whole sheet though and just had some scraps to use for scrolling. The main pieces were used in a wine cabinet for drawer bottoms and cabinet backs.
You probably don't want a whole 4x8' sheet I suspect.

Interesting. I looked this morning and the Hardwood Store doesn't list any 1/8" plywood in their entire selection. Maybe they discontinued it.

Scroll almost to the bottom of their plywood page. Baltic Birch is listed separately from the other plywood. Might be because it comes in 5x5 sheets and not 4x8.
I know that they had thinner then 1/4" oak before . If not 1/8" it was 5 /32" . I still have a small piece left.
