Has it gone up?
Last time I got some it was pretty cheap, but that was a couple years ago.




When I started the wife's studio two years ago, the first load ran about
$6/sheet. Towards the end of the project (last fall), it was up to
$10/sheet. i just saw it now at $16.

I was warned by my local lumberyard guy that the prices would be going up,
similar story to why gas prices go up except instead of refineries shutting
down for retooling, it is the mills.

Wow. Yeah, IIRC... I paid around 7 bucks. 16? Starting to price
themselves out.
Of course, simply raising the price of everything else will cure that.





Just looked at Lowes.com, $16.55. Way to much even with the standard 10%
discount.
For a small window of time, 1/2" CDX plywood was nearly the same price, 'cept
it all had a large radius curve preset into its shape.
