I sure can't buy a sheet of plywood like that for that price and there is a factory making the stuff not three kilometers from my front door!

I told him that I was going to cut it up >>> for shelving and I planned to cut pieces 23 1/4" x 15 3/4". He told me >>> that there would be no charge for him to cut it.

Karen took it in the basement for me and a >>> few days later I started cutting the banding stock. Well the tops of the >>> plywood were very nicely cut. The oak veneer on the bottom was really >>> messed up. Although this will be the bottom of the shelves for the TV >>> stand, I had to get some plastic wood and fill in and really sand the >>> bottom. You could get some nasty splinters if I hadn't filled in the >>> jagged rips. >>> That board costs $20 so I did salvage it. The finished product looks >>> great >>> from the top. Just hope no one ever looks under the shelves, the will >>> wonder what kind of a wood butcher I am. >>> If I would have cut them I would have used a plywood blade and made >>> three >>> passes for each cut. First about a 1/16" scoring cut on both finished >>> sides then cut the plywood. There would have been no splintered edges. >>> Oh well!
