Where do y'all go in the Raleigh area for cabinet-grade plywood?
I'm about to start a project for which I need several sheets (1/4, 1/2 and 3/4). Oak, BB, whatever - as long as it will remain flat. Of course, since it is a shop cabinet, I'm on a budget. 5x5s don't fit on my trailer well 
I found Birch, Blondewood and Sandeply at loews/hd, but not in all the sizes I need. I'd be ok with the birch from Lowes, but I'd need to find a store with all 3 sizes.
TIA!
Chris

Forget the birch from Lowes. It is that Chinese crap (polite wording.) HD carries Columbia Forest Products 3/4 birch in a B-3 grade. Made in Old Fort, North Carolina. Look through the bundle though as some sheets are better than others . Also, they are usually willing to "cut a deal" on a damaged sheet. For 1/4" birch, look at Lowes 5.2 MM under layment. Often it has a birch face on one side, while the other is trash. Baltic birch can be found at Wurth (AKA Raleigh Hardwoods.) When my truck isn't available, I just take the necessary tools with me to break down a sheet of BB. This includes circular saw, straight edge guide with clamps, drop chord, and some scrap 2 X 4's to support sheet. Of course if money isn't an object, Capital City Lumber can take care of all your needs, along with all your money. | |

Horizon Forest products is far cheaper than Wurth's on all the same hardwood and plywood. They are about 2 miles away from Wurth Group. | |

I see they have "Paint Grade" plywood -- has anyone used this? Since this is for a shop cabinet, I not particular on the appearance - I just want it flat and stable. I had planned to finish it with something anyway - and was considering paint anyway.
