I am looking for plywood around 10mm thick. Very strong, and with lots
of thin plies, rather than the usual stuff that has only a couple of
plies each way. Any idea where to get this.

It's to make a boomerang, btw. So, just a small sheet will do fine.

Marine ply is usually higher spec - or look at model makers.

You'd generally look for a high quality one which might be called birch,
etc. Got some 10mm here which I use for speaker cabinets. That is 10 ply.

You might find a decent selection of offcuts on Ebay at a not bad price.

You need baltic birch. plies are around 1mm thick

all thicknesses in stock.

Thanks all. Now I know what to look for. Last time I did this, I got an
offcut from somewhere, but the number of places with offcut bins is
reducing.

It never occurred to me to look on ebay for bits of wood. But, why not?

from SLEC.co.uk


Makes very pretty propellors and so on.

that does it up to 50mm thick. How thick do you want it?

I've just bought some ally kickplates for the bottom of a door from Ebay.
About half the B&Q price with free postage. 48 hour delivery too.

Unless you have a specialist woodwork shop nearby, you're more likely to
get offcuts of what you want on Ebay than anywhere else.

Shirley using bass would make better fins not props.

Marine ply just means it has been made with marine rated glue ..........
Birch ply usually has more 'plys' than standard ply.
