I need a square piece of plywood. Does anyone have some (about 45cm x 45cm) or know of place that I can buy some?

Thanks

Last time I was in hongdae I saw a street that had like 8 or 9 custom furniture making stores on it, with workshops. It was closer to sinchon station, if you were walking from there towards the main area of hongdae. I would imagine in various places in seoul you can find some custom furniture stores with shops. If you find one, they'll probably sell it to you. Maybe take a walk around the dirtier parts of your neighbourhood and see if there is a more industrial area, if there is you might find some custom workshops there.

There is a small lumber yard near where I live in Songpa near the Garak Market subway and bus station. Don't know if this is near you.

I'd be interested to find some Marine Plywood for the coracle I'm fixing to make.

Notice how very little is made with wood in this country. NOT AN ACCIDENT! it's expensive dude. plywood? forget it. maybe you could get a semi-expensive piece of compound board.

I will check the prices at the mini-lumber yard and get back to you on that.
