In Response To: Canadian Wood Source (John Waddington)

I was the one that provided the Halifax sources for Okoume (I assume that your not looking for strips). 2 locations in Halifax. Warning, the sheets are pretty floppy - as a result (if you don't have a flat bed truck) you'll need some kind of supports (2x4's?) along the full length of the plywood if you're going to carry it for a 15hr drive on the Hwy.

Piercys - 2854 Robie St #454-6411 (cost ~$45 per sheet),

Leckie's - 7037 Mumford Rd #454-8391 (should match Piercys price)

Hope this helps, Mark Bodnar
