For whats its worth, I found a supplier for wood in the Chicago area.&nbsp; It is Door and Plywood Co at #708-599-0200.&nbsp; His name is John.&nbsp; He does have a $150 minimum order which he said he could give me three sheets of Okuome for.&nbsp; He also deals with Meranti and Sapele.&nbsp; There is also Wood World in Chicago which is more expensive, but local as well.&nbsp; One other company worth mentioning is The WorkBench in South Bend IN at #574-277-8350.&nbsp; I probably called over 30 plywood suppliers and they all thought I was nuts asking for 1/8 or 4mm ply.&nbsp; Not only is it impossible to find the 4mm, then you have to make it marine grade.&nbsp; You would think it would be a lot easier to find. Don’t we live next to some lake…?&nbsp; Good Luck!
