is that something that home depot would stock?

Ones I'm familiar w/ do, anyway (altho haven't been where there is a
borg for over 10 yrs now, wouldn't expect basic stocking to have changed
much). I'd expect you'll find birch and oak easily although it'll
probably require purchasing a whole sheet if need over 4-ft length;
sometimes you can find half-sheets but they'll be 4x4 not 2x8.

How wide a cap are you thinking of?
