Try the address for Wood World on Elston, as shown in their web page, and give them a call.

http://www.woodworld.com/plywood.html

The website is old, and in need of updating. They list three addresses, but they have consolidated into the Elston address -- which is not really on Elston, but on a corner of two other streets, and just barely visible from Elston! Blame the screwy Chicago numbering system in that neighborhood.

Nice people there. I bought some 4mm marine okume from them last year. Call and ask for directions and current prices on what you want. They can let you know what is in stock. Last year they had 4,6, and 9 mm marine plywood. The last two would be roughly 1/4 inch and 3/8th inch. I think the 4mm panel was 49 x 97 or 98 inches. It was bigger than 4x8 feet.

What part of Chicago are you in and what boat are you building?
