    Warped Plywood

    Ok, I go to a reputable wood dealer buy nice 3/4 plywood. Bring it to the shop, store it flat, cut it up and notice that it is bowed or warped. This happens frequently. Is it something that I have to learn to deal with? Am I doing something wrong? or what?:oops: Thanks

    Plywood Storage: flat or on edge????

    I am looking for advice on storing sheet goods. I would rather store on edge for space savings and ease of access but it seems to warp over time. I noticed that it is shipped and stored at the lumber yard flat. Thanks.
