My local lumberyards stock 3/4" AC Fir plywood, which I use for shop cabinets and such. The only problem is that sometimes I'd like both sides to look the same.

Is there such a thing as Fir plywood with two "A" sides?

Special order of car load quantity? Maybe. Nothing better than A-B is stocked by my local suppliers.

I'd swear the grading criteria has degraded (pun intended) over the last several years. A recent purchase of A-C after a long hiatus looked more like what I would expect from B-D. So bad, in fact, I downloaded a copy of the grading standards to support my argument of misgrading as a reason for returning it. Durn stuff met the A-C standards. Couldn't believe it. Especially since it cost almost what I'd have paid for hardwood ply.
