Looking for a source (other than Home Depot and Lowes) for high grade,

Try
http://www.woodfinder.com

...although I was unimpressed with the results when I did it just now.

If memory serves there's a fairly serious ply supplier northwest of
MIA. I seem to recall Medford, or something like that. It's actually
in a small town by that name nestled in between Hialeah and Miami
Lakes or who knows what suburbs.

There's another one, whose name I can't recall, somewhere in the
vicinity of SW 27th Av and Federal Highway (US1).

Neither one of these shows up on woodfinder. Try another internet
search like a yellow pages search.


I've found that woodfinder is worthless for this area. It sounds like
you might be thinking of medley hardwoods in medley, just north of MIA,
which is THE place to buy hardwood lumber, but they do not sell plywood.
Shell lumber is in the area of sw 27th ave and us1 and they do have a
selection of hardwood plywood. Shells prices on the plywood are a little
high, but their hardwood lumber prices are insane, sold by the linear
foot. They have a fair selection of exotics too, but the cost is just
too high. I believe MCR lumber in princetown can get hardwood ply for
you, but their service is so poor its sometimes hard to find out what
they have, or can get.
Hope this helps,
