Hi,
Some time ago a salesman dropped by and gave me his card. It was a very thin (under 1/64") plywood made up of a layer of wood on each side with a paper core. Can someone point me to a source for this material. I've struck out so far. The salesman didn't know where it came from either.

Thanks,
Bill Hoss

National Balsa has 1/64" "finnish" birch ply, don't know about the paper inner layer.

Aircraft Spruce has a similarly described product @ .4mm and .8mm

Thanks for the suggestions, but I do use that material. The material I mentioned is even thiner.

back in the early 90's, foil print suppliers used to offer precut business card blanks made from walnut on one side, and maple on the other (called maple/walnut ..natch) Signet hot stamping supples in Alberta used to carry them, but I'll bet their rare now!
