Interesting site/business. May be a consideration when working on some trailer interior repair missions. Carries very bendable 1/8 and 3/16 plywood and a pretty good selection of veneers. www.boulterplywood.com/homepage.html |

I bought materials from them about 30 years ago, great little family run business. Also, I believe they are the only source of 1/8" birch in the Boston area. They carry it in two types which will either bend lengthwise like a tube, or the other way like a cylinder.

I went to Boulter today, bought a few 4x8 sheets of nice 1/8" birch. I was mistaken regarding bendable birch in that what they have is not a "finished" birch panel. You can get a 4x8 sheet which will bend either way, but it would have to be painted. The birch I bought is domestic and really nice, on the phone they quoted me $49/ sheet...website said $39 so I asked them to honor that price, which they did. I had really bad directions to get there, but it is right off of I-93 north, exit 28. Be sure to turn RIGHT at the exit, Right again at the circle onto Main St. The store will be directly on the left, you'll have to do a U-turn.

Love Boulter Plywood. Great selection of all kinds of wood, just about 5 min from my house.
They have a great "scrap" pile out back which you can look through.. mostly large cutoffs, but very nice wood.. Cherry, mahogany, Spanish Cedar, Curly Maple etc. Not great for campers, but they have plenty of plywood. 39.00 a sheet is a great deal.
