here is my opinion 4x10 cost way to much !!
get 3 sheets of baltic plywood put a 2in lap joint on (cut one in1/2 )each glue and screw and when its dry remove the serews fill the
holes there you have a 10 ft sheet
that is what i did and it worked great just look in my album

I second Dan's opinion...I wouldn't pay over 100bucks for a sheet of ply...I use a router with a slot cutter and spline to extend an 8' sheet to whatever length I want...a bisquit joiner will work as well and the money saved will pay for the tool needed to make the extension...if you have or can find an affordable source of off sized ply, my hat's off too you...otherwise, make it yourself and get a new tool/skil in the bargain.................

If you do find a supplier, you may want to ask if it is true 4x10 or if the 10' length is actually an 8' attached to a 2' piece and sold as 10'.

i also made my 8' into a 10' but i planned on thickening up the galley walls so the 2 pieces are just butted up to each other then there is another sheet that overlaps the whole joint and glue holds it all down
