I’ve gone to a couple of local smaller cabinet shops and bought partial sheets of hardwood plywood from them. Also check with them to see who supplys them. There are hardwood suppliers out there that cater to the cabinet and building industry that don’t advertise to the average consumer, but some are happy to take your business. They are typically located in industrial areas and if you didn’t know what they were you probably would drive right by them. Buying online sight unseen for wood, in my opinion, is a crapshoot. These hardwood suppliers also sell wood with one side straight edged, unplaned and unsanded for a lot less than the big box sanded 4 side hardwood. If you have a planer and a table saw you can save some money.
