(I decided to trust Stick and others, work without MDF for the year, and see if the decision sticks... so this discussion is only about plywood.)
I really like baltic birch. However, I need something longer than 5 feet. What kind of plywood would you use for jigs & fixtures when you'd prefer BB but need a larger size?
To complicate it...
Intermountain Wood has 18mm BB for $40.83 in the standard 5' x 5' size.
They also have 18mm BB for $72.34 in 4' x 8' size. I always thought that BB was only 5x5 and those claiming 4x8 were selling an imposter product... but the supplier swears it's the same good stuff from the same source.
Is this real?
And even if it is real, would you pay $72.34 for 3/4"x4'x8' BB?
(If it was the same $/sf as the 5x5, it would be $52.26, and that would be more tempting.)
