Gary Katz refers to veneered plywoods and, better still veneer on pressboard. Does anyone know where to get these products in Washington state? Or does he laminate the pressboard himself?

In Pennsylvania, we have at least 5 quality lumberyards within a 20 minute drive that could get me at least 15 or 20 different veneers over plywood or MDO. Some of the veneers even come prefinished. I'm sure the same is true in Washington state.

We were gone for a few days or I might have seen this sooner, sorry. Luckily a buddy e mailed it.
I live in the south Puget Sound area and a few selections of veneered plywood are available at most lumber yards...even the big boxes stock some.
I'm not certain what you mean when you say "pressboard", but Continental Hardwoods, in Kent, deals in wheatboard core sheet goods. It's an environmentally friendly alternative to plywood as a substrate and can be veneered with many different species.
If you mean MDF core veneers, Continental and Architectural Woods (in Tacoma) stock lots of that stuff. Plywood Tacoma probably does too. There are bound to be dealers in Seattle, maybe Everett, Bellingham...get on the blower and start calling around...maybe Blackstock Lumber? I'm pretty sure Architectural Hardwoods has a store in Seattle, too.
Thanks, Jim.
You've saved me some homework. I know (now) that my own suppliers can order most things for me, but I'll enjoy visiting a source that stocks lots of goodies so I can touch them prior to buying.
You'd be smart to visit the specialty houses or at least yards that stock diff cores and veneers. Around here Toledo Plywood has a good selection of A grade, good 1 or 2 side, shop grade (where there's a nick on a corner or maybe a blem. Knowing your cutting schedule b/4hand might save you some money looking at the specials etc. Best of Luck.
