If you need some exotic plywoods a great place in Somerville is
http://www.boulterplywood.com/.

There is a very good lumberyard in Ashland too if you are anywhere near
there (Ashland Lumber). They will even deliver for free if you are close
which is great if you need to buy 4 x 8 sheets and don't have a truck.

Check the back of Fine Woodworking Magazine. There are several major
places that advertise regularily that can't be more than a Mass Pike
exit or two from you.
