Sorry Madox. I’ve updated the post to let people know its US. Will be sure to call it out at the beginning of new material posts.

This is great news! The more materials the better.
One side note, on the website it only lists pricing for the P1 size of the birch (in the two thicknesses). Is this only offered in the P1 size or has the information just not made it to the website yet? Thanks, Ponoko!

I’m wondering about the price myself. Is $15USD for a 1.5mm P1 sized birch ply the correct price?

Hi Ann & Otto!
We’re only able to source and provide thin birch ply in P1 size at present, and that is the actual cost for it.
Cheers!
