I used to buy teak boards at Siewers Lumber in Richmond. They let me pick my own boards. Good quality, not cheap. Don't know if they sell teak ply.

Teak and good prices really don't go together.

You might try Exotic Lumber.

Be careful of getting stuff that's too cheap. There's a variety of plywood quality out there and some of it has cores with voids or laminations with poor adhesion.

I always got to Harbor Sales for my plywood needs. They have very good stuff; high quality and flat. They even have a CNC machine that can cut pieces to whatever sizes you need.

I'll 2nd Exotic Lumber, but not cheap. Pretty cool place to browse, check out some of their other woods while there.

Two locations, Annapolis & Gaithersburg MD

The power of advertising - he sort of remembered the name.

I'll third the Exotic Lumber. Just picked up 3 sheets @ $155 a sheet (1/2" single sided).
