Hi all,
What is the closest available match to 1/8" ash plywood today? Larry has informed me that Ash is no longer available in 1/8"
We need at least 4 panels replaced and if I can't find an acceptable match I just may redo the whole thing in Birch.
Thanks for the help!
John

Larry did some in oak and it looked pretty darn close. I had so many panels to replace, I just redid my walls and ceiling in birch and used what I could of the ash to rebuild the cabinets.

BTW, here's a pic showing the ash cabinets with birch walls and birch upper doors. Overall, it blends reasonably well, but I kind of like that the "furniture" is different grain than the "house".  |

Here is the match with Oak. The entire trailer is ash except for that door to the bathroom. I built that with oak paneling. Great match. But this taking all of the ash finish down and doing it over with Amber Shellac. No one has been able to match the white tinted finish that they used with most ash.  |

That's right I heard you could still get ash here and there on the east coast. Wish we could get it here.
