Hey Cathy. Welcome back to the site. You've been missed.
I buy most of my BB from either Klingspor here in Raleigh or Woodcraft. WC has a nice little pack of a dozen 10x10" (I think) pieces of 1/4" Baltic Birch that is great for small scroll saw projects. They also have some other packs of random pieces. But I prefer to buy at Klingspor if they have what I want since they support us and WC does not.
The best deal - and the best quality - is from The Hardwood Store but they sell in 5'x5' sheets. I expect they can cut a sheet into smaller pieces for you but you'd need to check with them. Cheryl is pretty accommodating and they also deliver to most areas around here for a fee. That is definitely the way to go if you want quantity.

Ok, I still dont know what BB references.... help!
Baltic Birch. It is a type of plywood.
Do you have a cheap source?
I use it for jigs and boxes.

Catawba Hardwoods in Nebo or Hickory usually carry it. Also Scroungers in Asheville has it sometimes.

If you are ever near us, we sell a lot of it. 1/8-3/4" in 1/8" increments. Maybe we need a BB plywood run Don't think I've ever seen one of those, would be rather amusing

Cathy,
Klingspor's Woodworking Shop in Fletcher has a variety of smaller sized pieces of Baltic Birch in 1/8" to 3/4" thicknesses. Give them a call at 828-687-3940 to see what they have on hand. And come this Saturday if you can for a WNCWA meeting starting at 9:30 AM. Haven't seen you in a while!

That would actually work out well for something I'm working on.
I am so sorry - I forgot my manners and assumptions about everybody's knowledge base. Heavens know that sunk me when I started - still does on occasion. I did not mean to be rude in not explaining myself. :embaresse
Needs to be fairly good quality.

We had a couple of those at the early picnics - it was great! I've finally pretty much finished up my supply. What part of Virginia are you in?
Are you meeting at Klingspors?
No problem, I am now away of the abbreviation cheat sheet on this site so I know where to look now.
I bought my 4x8' sheet BB sheet at Home Depot. It seems to be in good shape from what I can see, no slits, empty or hollow pockets on the ends, etc.

I see ads for this company in many of my woodworking magazines. Has anyone ever used them to buy direct and have it shipped to their home? http://www.woodworkerssource.com/shop/category/6_plywood.html
