Richard, Like I said in my letter, it seemed too good to be true, so I decided togo with the "cut in slices and send UPS".I just figured that there would be some sort of hidden COD charges orwhatever.I had asked her to repeat it because I thought I'd heard wrong.Oh well, at least they didn't have a problem cutting it to special size.Even though I never really had a problem with Aircraft Spruce, that was oneof the snags....they wouldn't cut plywood for UPS shipment.Live and learn.walt-----Original Message-----

Checkhttp://www.aitwood.com/catalog.htmand select either "ultra thin plywood" for the really great stuff, or "finlandbirch plywood" for just the good stuff. VERY good material and VERY goodprices. They will cut and ship UPS.Warren.________________________________________________________________________________
