Their stability, ease of use, and in some cases, weather resistance make them ideal for cabinetry, doors, and all manner of marine applications. J. Gibson McIlvain supplies only the finest quality 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4″ thick veneer or MDF core plywood in the species and grain pattern of your choice. All of our plywood is available in multiple grades and saw faces like plain sliced, rotary cut, quartersawn, or sequence matched and numbered. We even offer some sheets that are pre-finished on 1 or 2 faces.

We buy our plywood with the same strict quality standards we use for our solid wood lumber so you can expect that even our B and C grade faces will be beautiful. The real advantage to our customers is that we supply both solid wood and plywood so when placing an order for one or the other we can easily add sheets of plywood to the truck already scheduled to deliver to your job site.
