I bought hoop pine plywood. Its an A-B grade and looks wonderful on both sides. A 19mm sheet and 15mm sheet cost me $235!

A good tip on laminating I learned from the Kriege book is to glue the 2 sheets together and stick them under your car wheel overnight using a jack. Should give you more than enough clamping force me thinks!!!
