Re: 3/4" Cherry Ply At HD


HD in my area has 3/4" Cabinet grade oak ply for $23.97 a sheet. Have like 5 lifts of it. I wish I had the money to just stock up right now.

Re: 3/4" Cherry Ply At HD


I tried the HD - Lowes oak and birch a few times, NEVER AGAIN.
The veneer was so thin it could be used for toilet tissue. It warped after I cut it into 14" widths. My local supplier, Hardwoods Inc has a much better product for a bit more.

Re: 3/4" Cherry Ply At HD


I picked up 13 sheets awhile back from a guy who went belly up-$20/sheet-also picked up a little bit of 1/4" but I wasn't sure it was cherry...I find it hard to distinguish (not red like I'm use to seeing). doesn't match the stuff I hauled to a mill, had them cut up and has been sitting for 9 years-man that stuff is nice!

Re: 3/4" Cherry Ply At HD


I grabbed a sheet of HD oak once.. It was the inside of a cabinet, so I figured I'd be alright... The veneer was so thin, it actually disappeared in some places when I hand sanded it with some 150 grit.

Save yourself the grief and spend a few bucks more for the good stuff from a plywood supplier.

HD birtch.... veneer bubbles and cracks when oil primed

Only ply I get from the box stores is AC sanded fir, makes great carts and work tables. $32/sheet is a good deal.

A few? 3/4 cabinet oak is 105.93 less my discount

Might be buying a sheet before Christmas anyways. I have some beautiful cherry boards that I wanted to make the wife something out of.....Bigger question is what?
