Plywood source in Durham?

[dave]

I am looking for a place in (around) Durham to get some better plywood than the stuff Lowe's carries. I only buy a couple full sheets every few months and I sometimes need it cut or the option to buy half sheets.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!
Dave

What type of plywood, grade and thickness? In Durham, I am only aware of the borgs carrying hardwood veneered plywood, but would be interested if folks knew of other sources. There are certainly places in Raleigh, but if I had to drive anywhere, then my first choice would be the Hardwood Store of NC (see ad on the right). They're in Gibsonville which is about 45-60min from Durham depending on which part of the city you're in. They carry a good selection of hardwood plywoods in different grades and thicknesses and will cut it down (in half) for you.

+1 for The Hardwood Store. They buy good plywood and store it right too!

Another plus for the Hardwood Store and they do deliver to the Triangle.

You will not regret driving to The Hardwood Store, it is well worth the trip. They will cut it down for you, but I do not believe they sell ply in half sheets any more.

Thanks for the thumb's up Bryan. You are correct that will rip or crosscut a sheet of plywood for transportation purposes but not to exact project dimensions. Unfortunately we no longer sell half sheets of the plywood.

Thanks all! I'll definitely visit the Hardwood store when I am ready to restock.

+1 to The Hardwood Store. If you want standard A/B or C/D construction plywood you might check Talbert Lumber on Hillsborough Rd. The MDF core at THS usually runs true to the specified thickness, but the others have the usual thickness variations.

Dave, i have a cabinet shop in Durham. I usually keep plywood in stock depending on what you want. I can have what you want delivered to me if you give me some heads up on it. I don't mind cutting or selling you whatever you need.
