Looking for some 18mm birch plywood

Hi, looking for a small section of 18mm birch plywood for a project. Don’t know if anyone here would have some they’re willing to sell? Approx size 35cm long, max 15cm wide. Thanks!

Hi Donna.

I don’t have any birch ply at the moment, but I have light-coloured 18mm BB/BB hardwood ply, 18mm hardwood marine ply (slightly darked and reddish) hardwood, and BB/BB construction ply (reddish hue).

I also have some left-over Osmo Polyx Oil in white and some Osmo white stain if you want to give that a go?

Hi Jan, thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately I’ve already done the rest of the project with the birch ply and so hoping to finish it off with the same material.

Hi Donna, I’ve got some that you can have, but will be abroad until Sunday. If you are willing to wait a week I can drop off at the space.

Also worthwhile noting it’s B&Q birchwood ply, so not particularly good quality!

I may have some sufficient offcuts at work! I’ll check

Thanks Neil!

Yeah no worries. I’ll be around next week so give me a shout and can see if it matches. Thanks

Found a piece. Can bring by on Monday if it looks right


That’s perfect. Thank you! Monday will be great.

@DWade

The board is in the sheet storage area!

Thank you!

Along the same lines, anyone got any max thickness 3mm plywood 300 x 900 minimum 4 to 8 pieces? Or where to find some, I´ve been googling…

Hi Helen.

I have never yet seen 3mm plywood. At least not as a standard component regularly available off the shelf. Apologies if I’m being daft, but that would be a single layer of 3mm wood. What you’re probably after if you’re after something that is 3mm thick made of wood is a 3mm wood veneer?

Selco do a cheap and cheerful quality 3.6mm ply and will cut down a 1800x600 sheet for you in store.

You can get nicer faced 3mm stuff from the laser suppliers (hobarts.com, kitronik.co.uk)

Yes, I stand corrected. We apparently even have 3mm plywood in the laser section in the SLMS shop (by the laser available for purchase).

Thanks to all. These links and suggestions are useful for the future or to get more if what they just gave me in Acrelane Timber is insufficient!
