looking for multi-ply plywood

[TBoomz]

Looking for a source of aircraft grade plywood on East coast [preferably in NC] 4 mm - 5 mm thickness w/ 8 - 12 plies. The Hardwood store (gibsonville) sells 6 mm baltic birch in 5x5 sheets, but most sheets are 5 plies. Am not familiar w/the marine plywood they sell. Has anyone had experience w/the okume plywood? How many plies to expect in either of their 1/8" or 5/32". What sort of strength does it have to "sudden shock"? ...say,... a piece hits a brick wall at 80 mph.

Years ago, I found a source [aircraft grade ] in Anaheim, CA...but @ $200 for a 5x5 sheet - plus $200 for shipping - too much for me.

Did you ask the Hardwood Store if they could special order it for you?

May try that tomorrow. Hopefully, prices have come down some, if they can get it this side of the country.

I went to the Wurth Wood store in Raleigh looking for 1/8 Baltic Birch about 6 months ago. The counter person told me the only thin plywood they sell is luan. Maybe different stores carry different products.
