Anyone have any good experiences with the new Chinese made so called
3/4" (11/16")oak plywood? Bought two sheets of what seemed to be flat
plywood but after cutting them to size I noticed the pieces began to
warp and twist very badly also after cutting the pieces and exposing the
inner cores there were a lot of unglued plies, man this stuff is junk.
Plan on taking this up with HD's management.

About 10 years ago, HD plywood used to be usable. It started slowly
declining.
Now it's pure crap. The last time I bought there (about a year ago), I
bought 4 sheets
of oak plywood. There were huge voids under the veneer (I remember one
being 5 inches long by about 3/4 inch
wide). And of course, some of these voids didn't appear until after
the bookcase was glued up.. I ended up filling the voids and just using
the bookcase as shelving in the basement. In short, it was impossible
to make a decent project out of it.

Haven't bought anything that I wouldn't use only as utility grade
since. It's sad, because back when they charged about $50 sheet for B
grade Oak, it was decent stuff. Now they charge about $40/sheet, but
it's crap. I wouldn't mind if there was a few defects that I could cut
around (I can live with some waste), but when they have voids all over
the place under the veneer, the stuff is not usable.
