Where can I find lite or light plywood? It is usually about 40% lighter than regular plywood. I am looking for 4x8' panels, 3/4" thick. Any help would be appreciated. I seem to only find it under hobbies and I am NOT making small models with it.

You might try calling the Raleigh Hardwood Center, they're listed in our Wood Suppliers List. I know there are plys made entirely of Poplar veneers that are considerably lighter than normal ply. This is company that manufactures a type http://www.winwood-products.com/eng/...r_plywoods.htm
If RHC doesn't carry it maybe they can order it or direct you in a better direction.

Thanks, I already tried Raleigh Hardwooods and they do not supply it/do not special order it, nor could the person I spoke with direct me to another supplier. Your link is a good one. This is the stuff. I wrote to them recently, but they are in England, although willing to ship! No US distributors. | |

Might try McEwen lumber (saw a post on this site recently) and the hardwood store in Gibsonville. | |

I just checked McEwen lumber, and they only carry Hood products, and Hood doesn't make anything but regular old pine ply. The Hardwood Store would be worth calling. There was another place mentioned down near the coast, I can't recall the name or find the thread that spoke about it

Chip,
I can't say as I've ever seen any "lite" VEENER plywood. I do know that there is "lite" MDF.
Now if all else fails, there is lumber core plywood. It is made of siold wood strips about 2" wide, glued together and veener on top. It is much lighter than standard veener core plywood.
Raleigh Hardwoods had it, and you can try this place also: http://www.horizonforest.com/
They carry lumber and plywood. They have a place in Raleigh also. | |

Dolan I think was the one talking about the place near the coast. Can't remember thread or what, but I do believe it was Dolan. | |

Travis you're right, that is the thread I was thinking of. Here's the link to that supplier: http://www.worldtimbercorp.com/index.html Again worth a call to check.
