Default Home Depot's Non-Chinese made plywood

I have noticed also the selection of other plywoods has disappeared. A
goodly number of years ago, one could purchase firply in a number of
thicknesses and finishes. I personally still have some remnants in my scrap
bin of 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4" firply. It used to be
available in sanded, unsanded, and thicker sheets in tongue & groove for
flooring. Now at the BORG and the few remaining lumber yards in sanded
undersized 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4", and they consider this a full selection.

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.


The "real" plywood suppliers still have a vast array of options to drool
over. When I was in CT I used to get my good plywood from Atlantic
Plywood in South Windsor. They are only wholesale, but you can place
your order at the building supply place a few miles down rt 5 and then
go pickup your order up the street. The building supply place doesn't
have real good info on what they have at Atlantic so it's best to make a
trip up to Atlantic to get the listing of what they actually have and if
you can take a walk through their warehouse.
