THIN PLYWOOD

my wife wants me to make her a display tray for some of her needlework.... ok,
no problem. she likes the sudberry tray style so that is not a problem. i am
looking for a plywood or veneer that is 3/32" thick. it must be able to take a
stain and finish while remaining flat ie: warping is out of the question as it
will be the border for the insert.
where can i find this stuff and if i can, is there any particular way to finish
it ?

thanks in advance.

Michelle are the 2 in this area. eastern NC

You can get very thin plywood at hobby shops. It is often used for model
airplanes. I don't know if they have large enough sizes for what you want
or that it would have the quality for a real nice finish. I've not used it
in many years myself.
