For those of you looking for B/B inventory at reasonable prices, have
you tried to find a plywood distributor.

Here in SoCal, have at least 3-4 to choose from.

AT least one of them is on line and will ship.

Last time I was there, they were sending a shipment of something to
New Zealand.

I don't waste time with lumber yards, DIY centers, etc.

We have one plywood distributor nearby (South Jersey), but they will
only sell to the trade. I suppose I could pretend I have a woodworking
business, but I haven't wanted to hassle with it. Someday when I have
a real need for the top quality Baltic Birch or some other specialty
plywood I'll give it a try.
