   I have always purchased my baltic birch ply at Rockler. They have 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4" material in a variety of sizes. ( There is a retail store near my home so I have never tried mail-order from them).  Also, I have seen 13 ply 3/4" baltic birch in  4'x8' sheets at my local Menards store. I live in Minnesota and am not sure how far menards reaches.

   Saftey glasses?......Nah!, I'm wearing saftey contacts

   Good luck!

   Glaucon,

   When I lived in Central NJ, used to get cabinet plywood from Willard Brothers Woodcutters on Basin Road, Trenton NJ, (609)890-1990.

   Good luck

   Small clarification here:  Baltic Birch uses interior glue, Finnish uses exterior.  Might be that Finnish would be more expensive?  Also has darker glue lines, not that it matters for jigs. ;-)

   Delaware Count Supply is exit 1 off of 95 in PA. 1/2" baltic plywood is $34.80 and 3/4" is $42.40. They have not heard of "finnish" ply.

   Thanks to both FG and Matt. I had just called DelCo Supply... those prices are for 5 x 5 sheets. I've dealt with them before and they have always been decent and fair...I wasn't aware of the glue distinction FG, but as I am planning to use the ply for jig construction, interior should be fine,Glaucon
