    Maple and / or Cherry Plywood Source?

    I've been trying to locate a source for maple and cherry veneer plywood in southern Minnesota. I used to get it up near White Bear Lake but that company went out of business and nobody seems to carry it anymore.

    Any ideals?

    I think Menards carry such wood. Definitely saw maple veneer ply in stock.

      Try Youngblood Lumber http://youngbloodlumber.com/hardwoodplywood.html

      They're very helpful and don't have a problem with small orders.

      13th and Central NE Minneapolis

        I am a long way away from Minnesota but I saw maple plywood in Home Depot last time I looked. They did not have oak (which I wanted) but had maple.

          Thanks everyone,

          I've had spotty luck with both Home Depot and Menards. I can find either cherry or maple sometimes, rarely in the thickness I want and never consistently. It looks like I need to make a trip to Youngblood Lumber.

            I haven't actually purchased from there, but the "new" Menards in Savage off of 13 (Right next to the old Menard's just west of I-35W), seems to have far more plywood choices than the other local big-boxes, but I don't specifically remember cherry.

            That said it's not like the much wider variety offered at Youngbloods or Siweks in Minneapolis which do have both species (and thus may be a better option when you're making a special trip).
