I know we've covered this before ... but I don't remember the answer and couldn't find the thread. And now we have many more members ... so maybe I'll learn something new.
Where can I buy good quality (baltic birch or similar) plywood in the Charlotte area at a reasonable price? |

I don't know about Charlotte but the hardwood store of NC in Gibsonville delivers to the Charlotte area on a regular basis. Not a bad Saturday morning drive either. They had a nice selection last time I was there.

Wurth is the best place I know of. Used to be Charlotte Hardwood. | |

The only place I would know of is WC or possibly Klingspor. You can always order it from several places online. You will not find it in a BORG.

BTW, I don't think there is such a thing as reasonably priced BB!  | |

It's a shame you didn't get on the deal earlier this year - that was a deal!

I bought a couple sheets of Baltic Birch from Klingspor early this year. I'm not clear on whether they still stock it since the inventory modifications (affiliation with Rockler) but the price was decent when I bought it. Woodcraft doesn't have it. | |

Also, I've never been to Wurth. Is it consumer friendly, or mainly for businesses? | |

I have always had good experience working with Wurth. | |

Hey Guys-
Your right, Wurth is the only place locally that I know of-but there price is sky high right now-Horizon Forest products Charlotte operations didn't work out so there out of the picture .gif "Drogar Cry(DBG)") So it's high prices or keep your eyes on the board for good deals!  clamps-clamps-why do I never have enough clamps | |

I buy it locally for me which is in the Columbia, SC area. A couple hours from Charlotte. It seems like I paid about $30 for a 5x5 sheet of 1/2 inch last time I got some. The guy is only open afternoons during the week (noon to 4 if I remember correctly). I can look up the phone number if you are interested. He's not too far off I-77 (I think less than 10 miles and only a couple turns).

Wurth will work, but definately not a good price from what I remember
I read about a place named A&M Supply --- anyone heard of it? Do they sell to the public?
I'm only looking for a couple sheets ... maybe 3 to 5 depending on price and quality. | |

Sounds good Jim!
Details on the Columbia, SC dealer? I can take my truck on my next business trip and bootleg some back.
Jeremy,
I called the people in S. Charlotte who had the cut-offs last year and they have not done any more production using BB ply. She didn't know when they would start on it again but said she had a long list of names to contact when they started.

Let us know what you find out! | |

Jeremy,
Check with Dixie Ply and see if they sell retail. They are up your way. If you can't find the number for them let me know, I've got it at the shop.
