Probably collectors' items Tim. Hell, they may be worth a fortune.

"collector grade" plywood. Come to think of it, there probably is
sucha thing.

who'd a thunk it?

Any real lumber yard should be able to order it for you. You can also
get 5' wide plywood.
They may want you to buy a bundle of it tho ;-)

Nope, they would want you to buy a "unit" of it. I have never seen the 5x
but 4x10 is a catalog item. Probably for use like 4x10 sheetrock sheathing.

It's mainly used for shear walls when the ceiling height is greater than 8'.
It saves a bunch of labor since you don't have to block and nail off the
shorter ply.

That's why I know about it. The houses my wife used to build all had
10' ceilings and 8' doors. I used to joke that we must be expecting an
influx of NBA players here.


4x10 ply would make an interesting base for a slot car racing track,
assuming there is still interest in home-based slot car racing...
