I buy Birch Ply by the crate (22 sheets) and I get it for £31.00 per sheet.
 
Is that £31 inc or Excl VAT?

which is fine unless the saw at your nearest b&q is anything like my local...manned by stubborn idiots and not correctly calibrated, ie. cuts will differ as much as +-3mm  from top to bottom. 
The best thing I ever did was buying a festool and making all the cuts myself.

I used to work as a scenic chippy building sets for theatre. We would use very cheap ply, like that mentioned previously, as it would only by needed for 3/4 weeks at a time. The quality was so poor you could make it warp just from looking at it! I would also regularly cut through thin pieces of metal found within the laminates. Another problem was screwing into the endgrain because of the large amopunt of voids. Would never consider using it for speaker cabinets. Birch or MDF.
 
 

None of this is really an issue as they cut up their own boards and you just take your own tape and measure them, anything they f**k up just dump in the isle and get another ***FREE*** sheet for the quarter-wit to practice on!!!
 
I have, on several occasions thrown the TW*T off the saw and cut my own boards in BnQ...
 
18mm birch is £50 inc VAT a sheet and TBH given the option of loosing stuff you don't like can be a very cheap solution....

Has anyone had any experience using the Bristol Wood Recycling Project? They have sheet's of 18mm Hardwood listed for 18 quid a sheet. This seems scarily lower than any of the prices posted above, am I missing something?
