White Oak Plywood ?

[Canuck]

I am looking at making a child's dresser using some of the white oak I got from Scott and Jeff.

To lessen the overall weight of it, I was toying with using white oak plywood for doing flat panels on the ends.

I can't seem to find anyone close to Raleigh/Durham that carries it. The Hardwood Store in Gibsonville have it listed at their website (1/4 and 3/4) but it is a fair drive from Cary. I will probably only need 1 sheet.

Red Oak is pretty popular but no white oak. (Even Capital City Lumber said that they couldn't even special order it!:BangHead: Using red oak I am faced with trying to color match it, too.))

Thanks for your help.

why not make panels from what you have? at least they will match.:icon_thum

Wayne,

See if anyone wants a sheet or two and then have it delivered from Gibsonville. They deliver to Raleigh for a flat $39.00 fee. (approx the price of a sheet). Split the cost of delivery amongst the number of folks who may be interested

Just a thought

If you have never been to The Hardwood Store, it is worth the trip just to see all the stock they have. They also have 'shorts' for sale at reduced pricing and I never leave without more than I went for. Besides, you pass right by Woodworker's Supply on the way which is another place to get rid of your money. Go out I-40, Exit 148 is Woodworker's Supply and Exit 138 for The Hardwood Store. All in all, a nice little road trip.

What about Jacksons in Fuquay?

They have more variety of plywood than any place I have ever seen.
