Hello, can anyone help, i am looking for wood sheets at 1/16" thick i have sourced some from Hobbys, but they only supply small sheets, does anyone have any ideas where may stock larger sheets, i can only seem to find them on modelling website

Thanks so much :lol:
 
What about 1.5mm birch ply, it's available in 1500mm square sheets. Would be stronger than a veneer.

Hi
I'm looking at 1.5mm birch, but i'm confused about the quality, i am cutting wooden business cards so need a good quality finish, i know ply comes in grades but i cant seem to see anywhere that sells larger sheets in 1.5mm thats a good quality, been looking all afternoon :shock:
 
1.5mm birch ply usually has a very good finish, yes there may be a few small knots in the non certified sheets but not many and I can't see how 5 foot square isn't big enough for a business card? I wouldn't want any bigger in my pocket!
