    The people who put up those little plywood boards over windows and doors must be making a killing this summer.

        I hate to do this to you, but prepare to be disappointed then because it seems we don't even make our wood here anymore lmao https://www.wbpionline.com/uploads/newsarticle/6908934/images/497879/large/indrustry-large3.jpg

          Fuck, didn't know big plywood was a sinophobic dogwhistle lol. I'm not American I'm Swedish, but I was expecting us to have a larger market share too

          Well that is global. Perhaps the US only uses 6% of the global share of plywood, thus they do not import any more? Whereas China uses more of the share (which I am sure they do) while a whole bunch at the same time.

            I suppose that could be true. I can't claim to have much expertise in this area, I an extreme beginner in woodworking. I watched 3 or 4 yt videos about plywood a while ago, and I thought I remembered one of the guys mention that 3/4" plywood is almost always thinner than 3/4" because it is manufactured abroad (metric). I thought it would just be a funny comment to make but that chart came up when I searched to double check and it was too shocking to not post haha.
