Walnut veneer plywood

[freshwaterw]

I have need of one 4x8 each of 1/2 & 3/4 walnut ..... only need one side good (shop grade?). Where is the most economical place to acquire this these days? If there is such a place! Thanks!

I would try the Hardwood Store in Gibsonville.

What's your general location?

Walnut veneer plywood and economical do not go in the same sentence in my experience. There is typically no shop grade in walnut veneer. Typically A-1 or B-1 grade.

I had a heck of a time finding 3/4 walnut ply recently on my most recent plywood order. My normal supplier (Catawba Hardwoods near Marion) was out. Called 5 other suppliers who were all out and ended up finding enough sheets from Hood in High Point. A-1 veneer core (that looked more like B-3 with almost 100% sapwood on the back side...) for $180 a sheet after tax.

You might try calling Steve Wall Lumber in Mayodan. They didn’t have any a few weeks ago but were expecting a shipment about now and pricing is around $140 a sheet for 3/4.

In the past I got it from Wurth in Charlotte. Haven’t tried lately though.

All the big suppliers keep it in their inventory. It’s just a matter of if it’s actually in stock. There have been incredibly inconvenient supply issues with all plywood for some time now and nothing seems to be a given anymore.
