Leftovers?

Was just wondering whether anybody has any leftover plywood from their truss dob projects?

I only need a small piece of either 12mm, or 10 or even 8mm plywood to finish my mirror box. The piece I need is only 490mm x 490mm. If anybody has any excess leftover I will gladly buy it from them and also pay shipping of course.

It would be a shame to have to buy a whole sheet which is almost $190 just to get the piece I need to finish

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have lots, but you could buy a small piece from a local timber supplier (or large hardware store) for under $20 so posting it would not be worth it. For example: Home Timber and Hardware always have lots of offcuts which they sell by the square metre, or Bunnings has small precut sheets in fixed sizes - 600x900 would work for what you need.

Yes I have seen the smaller pieces for sale in various stores. However they are mostly low grade ply full of voids.
I am after the better plywood which is only sold in big sheets eg. Hoop-ply or marine ply.
