No-void plywood

I've got a project coming up where I need maybe about a quarter sheet of no-void plywood and there's none to be found in my area, even at the lumber specialty stores.

The species used for the plies or laminate isn't particularly important. I'm just looking for something that's about 3/4" with good continuity of material when viewed from the side.

So, I'm wondering if there's a place here on the interwebs or possibly around central Kentucky that might carry such a rarefied wood product.

Thanks ahead
 
Yeah, what guy said- ask for Baltic Birch , rather than Plywood, might help the lumber store locate what you need. However, be prepared to pay through the nose. Baltic Birch , at least around here is like 3x or more the price of regular (even grade AB Interior) Plywood. Back when I could buy a sheet of 4x8 3/4 CDX Plywood for $38 , a 48" x 48" (half sheet) of Baltic Birch was $72 (before the Panedmic Price hikes)
 
I would have to check but my local store here in Cookeville tn used to carry Baltic Birch. Its called Winell lee if you want to call them.
 
There is a superior US product called Apple Ply that uses maple and they did have a web site selling small pieces. Several years ago you could buy 4' x 8' x 1/2" sheets for under a $100.00 at hardwood dealers.
