I don't know about Wilmington exactly, but I have gotten it a Home Depot, they also have 3/16". It's tempered, which IMO is better, smooth on one side rough on the other.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Home Depot and Lowes sells is. All different thicknesses. 2'x2' and 2'x4' sheets that I remember. Maybe I saw some 4'x8' sheets.. but I could be mistaken..

I have always gotten mine at Home Depot. And I did get it in a 4x8 sheet one time as well.

Home Depot carries the most sizes in my area. They have 1/4 in 2x2, 2x4, 2x8. They sometimes carry tempered 1/4. Also, I have seen 3/16 tempered in 2x4 sheets, as well as 1/8 (sometimes tempered, sometimes not) in varying sizes.

Just so you know, it normally is stored with the paneling not the plywood.

Depending on your usage hold out for the tempered stuff. I covered my 4'x'8' outfeed table 3-4 years ago with tempered board. It was great. Replaced it a few weeks ago because someone had abused the surface. Both HD and Lowes were out of tempered at the time, so I got what they had. What I purchased is not acceptable. No matter how many screws I put in it, it still buckles.

Yeh, I ommitted the word "tempered" in my post. That's what I'm looking for. I have bought it in the past at Lowes but I have checked three Lowes in the area and they are not stocking it. I will check HD and see if they carry it. I like it to make patterns with it.

Found the tempered hardboard at HD today. They had it in 1 /4" sheets of 2 x 2, 2 x 4 and 1/8" in 2 x 2.
