|  Italian Ply? I listened to you guys on a couple of things (ok, way more than a couple). I've been looking around at the various Baltic Birch suppliers on the Internet, and finally called a local milling/cabinetry shop. They have a supplier that delivers twice a week that has some, so will be getting some directly from them instead of via UPS or the mail. Got a good price, just hope it's good quality. AND got dibs on scraps. They didn't have much at the moment, but I get to keep in touch, and they took my number. One thing they did let me have was a couple of good sized pieces of 1/8 Italian Ply. Is that a good thing? I haven't tried it yet, and haven't cut enough yet of anything to have a real good idea of good vs not so good. |

 | Italian ply is fine.Sloans sells it, as does many other places catering to scrollers.Its surfaces are a little softer, I believe its poplar, and I also think its very flexible, but it should be fine for you.

| Thanks, I saw that on Sloan's, finally..I think it is the poplar. I feel almost like one of the big kids now. Got my first batch of Baltic Birch. Some 1/4" and some 3/8". Really good deal, I think. Looks like it's good quality (I didn't think to ask them how it's graded but it looks nice, both sides). Can't wait to play this weekend!!! |

 | Isn't Italian ply the type where the layers are held together with olive oil?  (I know, I know, but I just couldn't let it go by).
