Lumber yard question

[Caleb]

Is there any reasonable priced quality lumber yards around columbus, franklin, or greenwood?

Menards is my first choice. Are you looking for something special?

I havent had a need to shop but I would go to 84 lumber on occasion for specialty lumber. There used to be one south of Greenwood, according to their site it is still there. Other than that, the big box stores, Lowes, Menards, Home Depot.

There is a place in Cumberland off Musing just south of 40 but I can't remember the name. Its where I would check if lowes or anyplace like that doesn't have it. But not exactly close to greenwood.

There is an 88 lumber at 31 and worthsville in gwood. There is a carter lumber at 31 and brannigan in franklin.

I got some plywood at menards but it's has bunch of voids in the plys...I expected the bc grade to be a bit better.

Maybe I should ask, how strong is mdf core plywood verses standard plywood? I'm wanting to make an entertainment cabinet under my 135" screen to hold my reciever, movies, speakers, etc. etc.

BC grade is just what it sounds like. Grade B on the front face with voids filled and sanded. Grade C on the inner plies and the back face with void left as-is.

If you want good plywood you need to get cabinet grade plywood which is typically birch. If you can't find a cabinet grade then you need to atleast get a grade that is the same throughout (all plies are grade B).

Ah....what price would I pay for birch cabinet grade or all B grade plywood? How does it compare in durability and strength to mdf core?

I would not use MDF core for structural components. There are a lot lighter, better structural integrity products available.
