Hey all:
about a year into having my handibot and at this point I realize that finishing will never be my forte and a lot of my projects lend well to solid colors anyway.

I goggling has been with mixed results, do any of you have a good source for finished ply that I can just cut and go?

thanx

Hi Mark,
I order finished Birch plywood from A&M Supply out of Jacksonville, Fl. if that helps. Or if you are looking for hardwood ply, I would think a cabinet shop could apply a finish for you.

Hope this helps
Tim

If you really want a durable plastic facing, try Googling phenolic faced plywood. I've not seen it in any colors except green and brown.

Thanx all:

I like the idea of phinolic but everything I have found has the model T color choices. Any as long as it is.....

At this point I am thinking I am going to have to teach myself to install Formica. It comes in all colors and textures.
