Where can you purchase nice plywood with 5 plies like the vendors use to make floorboards. I think it is furniture grade.

May want to use marine ply as it is more moisture resistant.

I purchased mine from the local Sutherlands.

I believe Baltic birch is what your looking for. here in the Northwest the sheets come 60 x 60 inches. I just started working with the stuff and really like the quality. 99% void free between the plys.

Thanks for your replies. The wood is for a seat back and birch and Baltic Birch seems to be good quality. I will look locally.

The marine grade plywood sounds like a great idea. Wayne

Try a boat supply place or maybe a large lumber yard. As others have posted be sure it is water proof.
