Oversize Plywood??

Does any manufacturer make plywood sheets in 5'x8" or5'x10' in 1/2" thick?

All I have been able to find is 5'x5' baltic.

I need to have 10 or 12 pieces, 30"x 72" (nominal size) , and ripping that
from 48" sheets is pretty wasteful. Even if I paid a premium for the 60"
sheets, I think I'd be $$ ahead.

Suggestions appreciated.

BTW, Atlanta area.

You will probably have to buy it from a lumber company or some other
distributor, but our local Georgia Pacific has all of the odd sizes of
plywood and MDF. Even with my commercial accts, I cannot buy them
myself directly, but at least I can get that stuff when I need it.

Made for the furniture industry.

5X12 5X9 and every weird size you can think of.

Find someone who supplies the lower volume furniture manufacturers.

You can find MDF, Melamine etc in those sizes as well.

try here for suppliers -- I see them in the mag. Have not looked at the
online stuff for wood suppliers as I am in Canuckistan.

At one time, 5'x10' was available.

May have to buy a full unit, 70 sheets, but should be available.

Work with an industrial plywood distributor.
