I’ve got a project coming up where I need maybe about a quarter sheet of no-void plywood and there’s none to be found in my area, even at the lumber specialty stores.
The species used for the plies or laminate isn’t particularly important. I’m just looking for something that’s about 3/4″ with good continuity of material when viewed from the side.
So, I’m wondering if there’s a place here on the interwebs or possibly around central Kentucky that might carry such a rarefied wood product.
Thanks ahead

1/4 sheet is rough. Call some local cabinet shops and ask about picking through their cutoffs. Baltic birch would be my choice.
Ive ordered Baltic Birch plywood pieces from Woodcraft. You say "maybe" you need 1/4 sheet?...I think they have 30×48. Check them out.
My exact thoughts as well. I don't use much plywood. When I do, it has been Baltic birch that I've either bought at Rockler or Woodcraft (online or in person). I've never seen a void in it.
Are you specifically asking for voidless plywood or are you asking for Baltic Birch, Appleply, furniture grade, or veneer core plywood? The term voidless could be throwing off your local dealers, but any of the above options should meet that criteria.
Baltic birch is becoming hard to get since much of it comes from Russia and we don't seem to be getting along too well with them right now.
Some plywood can be hard to obtain without being able to establish a wholesale account. Your best bet is to hit up cabinet shops, make a friend or spiff them money to order what you need through their delivery. I'm a big fan of appleply,never seen a void in it. You will probably be on the hook for a full sheet.
My experience with lumber yards is once you run maybe $1/4 mil through a salesman he knows you by name and if you want something and it exists anywhere in the world he will find it for you!
