8' * 4' 1.5mm birch ply?

[flanajb]

Does anyone know where I can buy 1.5mm birch ply in 8' * 4' sheets. I have a project that requires a larger size than the standard 1525mm * 1525mm sheet size.

Google does not show up many results, but I am sure you can get it. It must be 1.5mm as I need to laminate it into a curve.

Lathams is my supplier for birch ply, not sure if they do 1.5mm.

Not exactly in your neck of the woods but Fyne Boat kits do full sheets of 1.5 sapele.

About 8 years ago I bought 4-5000 offcuts of 1.5mm from a trugmaker who lived in one of the villages inbetween brighton and Newhaven. He only used 1.5mm waterresist Baltic ply for his trugs. I remember him saying that it was only available in the 5ft by 5ft sheets. I forget his name but he had a website that Im sure you could look up on guggle and give him a call.
He used to heat his bits up in hot water to get the bends but would it not be possible to use 3mm in the curves arent too excessive and if its available in large sheets.
Other option is use the 5ft size and make the join a feature. Just an idea..
