Be sure you get it bending the right way. Some bends go the short way, others go the long way.

So bending plywood (sometimes called wacky wood I think) is OK to use as long as you get it with the correct grain orientation. I don’t know that I’ll go that route, but it might open some options for me if I can’t find regular 1/8” ply.

Wacky wood; haven't heard that before...
I bought mine at Windsor plywood near BC. There were some pretty bad flaws but luckily were covered up with cabinets and such.

If anyone is near Sacramento California, I can get a killer deal on most 1/8 sheet goods. Anything from Birch,Red & White Oak, Cherry, Maple, Walnut and Cedar. My father in law works for a hardwood company here and I can get this pretty cheap. Only problem for me is figuring out which one to go with. I may take you up on that offer.

Hi Friends, I came across a blog about a small Shasta and on one of the pages, the owner listed sources for birch paneling. I don't know if this was previously mentioned in this thread. The list on the webpage lists by state. ceciliatheshasta.com/where-do-i-buy-18-birch-plywood/ It looks to be from June 2017. Here is the list. Go to the linked webpage above for the links to each of these sources. Cheers, Rod TIPS FOR FINDING 1/8″ BIRCH PLYWOOD Check with local cabinet shops. They will often sell 1/8″ birch plywood. Some people have found 1/8″ birch plywood at mobile home supply stores. Call all of the smaller lumber companies within driving distance to you instead of focusing on big box stores.

I was super happy with my purchase of 1/8" birch from Buffalo Veneer and Plywood company in Buffalo, MN. They make the plywood there and have been since the 50's. They were priced at $30/sheet. Birch by nate kastle, on Flickr Birch by nate kastle, on Flickr

To add to teachndad's post, and for those in the Northeast looking for 1/8" birch, Atlantic here in upstate NY was happy to sell to me through a retailer, one of our local lumber yards, I just had to arrange for it. Good news is, they appear to be throughout the Northeast, in Chicago, and a couple in the Southeast: www.atlanticplywood.com/contact/#locations. The markup made it around $75 a sheet so the other source I contacted was in the Boston area, Boulter Plywood. Super helpful, ask for Chris, and around $45 a sheet: www.boulterplywood.com/

I'm surprised we don't have a few sources in CA. I was hoping for one in NC. Dare to dream. You do, or at least I think you do! I drove from Northern VA to NC to get really nice ash plywood and lumber from a mill in Gibsonville, NC called The Hardwood Store. Really nice stuff! I did not think I needed birch at the time but they had it. When I realized I did need the birch I didn't want to drive all the way back to NC so I ended up buying the 1/8 inch birch near me in Winchester, VA at a place that is now out of business I think. Maybe closed temporarily due to Covid-19, not sure. Anyway, ask The Hardwood Store. I had a really good experience with them. Good luck!
