[GrayBeard]

It pays to do the GOOGLE search now and then!

After the discussion of Sloans and Baltic Birch plywood I tried looking around Google to see if there were any other sources and i stumbled across this site just about 45 miles from my home!

http://www.woodnshop.com/

Will try to make a trip and visit there real soon!

I seem to forget, all too often, that by Googling something many new things might be discovered.  It happened again as a result of this thread.
I Googled "Baltic Birch Plywood AND Detroit".  I'm about 30 miles west of Detroit.
Up pops suppliers in my area for BB.
What surprised me was another product I'd never heard of.  ApplePly
ApplePly is said to be an American product similar to Baltic Birch and it comes in 4x8 sheets.
Here's a link:

I've not yet found any near me but it does sound interesting

Bud...I tracked down a couple places that carry it but only in 3/4"...pricing ran from $95 to $ 125 per 4 x 8 sheet!

Apple ply is some good stuff. It is usually used for drawer sides in cabinets, but is very expensive! It's not economical for us scrollers.

google:

We could not calculate directions between The Netherlands and The Wood & Shop Inc @39.227466,-91.070566.

I guess it's about 5000 miles for me GB....

RE: Heritage Wood....

I ordered some BB from them last night...

This is what you will receive in your 'confirmation email' from Heritage:

"Thank you for your order!
If this is your first order with us, please remember that we are a custom shop, and we make everything up special for you.  That means it may take up to 14 days before your order is produced, and we do not bill your card until the order is in production.  Typical FEDEX shipping time is an additional 3-5 working days."

Seems like a long time to wait for stock BB plywood!
So I emailed them this morning and requested that they advise me of the actual time frame and if they can't ship by Friday I will cancel the order.
For $5 more I could have gone to Sloan and had the materials by Monday or Tuesday!

My BAD for trying to save a couple bucks!!!!!!!!

Hey GrayBeard, I have ordered from Heritage in the past. They are indeed a custom order shop. But what I ordered was excellent! I ordered several panels of 1/4"x 12x 24" panels of maple, solid hardwood. It did take a couple of weeks for delivery, but was pleased with the wood.

I've been ordering my hard wood from Heritage for over a year now.  Every time I try someone different I end up going back because the quality from others isn't as good.  Usually I receive my order about 2 weeks after I make it, so I just plan ahead a little.
