Today I go through my experience of buying 1/4" plywood from Lowe's to use in my Glowforge! Knowing where to buy wood for the Glowforge can be a challenge, but today I share all my wood buying tips. I was a bit nervous to buy my own wood since I've mostly bought my supplies online. But the process was actually very easy! The associates at Lowe's were all very helpful & kind. If you've got any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments. Thanks for watching!
