1/16" Baltic Birch

I have been seaching the postings for "thin" B&B, but I can not find anything related to 1/16" B&B.  Sloan's is out and I am trying to find an other source for my Chirstmas gifts.

 I have been making the Business Card Holder Steve published a few weeks ago using 1/16" B&B for the back.  None of the ones I have found in the postings sell anything less than 1/8"

Any suggestions?

I think 1/16 is too thin for the backs, I would just stack cut 1/8

If you have a hobby shop nearby that deals in aircraft models, they may have or can get 1/16 aircraft plywood for you.  It can be pricey though.  Michaels also carry it, at least in my area.  Silver Sliver

Will try specialty hobby shop and see if they sell 1/16"; our Michaels did, but not reliable so.  Will ask if they take special orders.

Regarding the back being to thin, not so, at least in my experience of making them.  Must confess they have not been in actual use.  3/8" just seemed to bulky, but will try a sample and see.

Try a model shop, there is a good chance - also it's mostly expensive there.

I got some in Germany at the home store "Praktiker"  at a good price

I just bought 12 sheets 12 x 48 inches from a hobby shop paid $ 285.00. I make all my Christmas ornaments from it. It depends how intricate but stack from 6 to 10 pieces. The flower shop in town is going to sell them before X-mas and all proceeds go to the food pantry. Made close to 200 so far. Hope to have about 1000 of them.

Pieter - found some at this place.  Looks like they carry just about any type of ply you can think of.  Never dealt with them so I don't know how their service is.
