Hello y’all!
I’m looking to build my own cabinets for my home. Does anyone know of a good source for material? Specifically, the plywood or particle board, with the pho-wood veneer, that the pros use to create the shell?
Chief of all sinners.

Mine are almost all paint grade and we use Baltic birch which comes as 5' x 5' and is more stable than your other birch plywoods or lumbercore. The size works out efficiently re waste also

If that's all you want in your cabinets, and you aren't looking for any odd sizes, or shapes, you're probably better off looking at Home Depot, Lowes, or Ikea.
They make a wide selection of cabs made from veneered particle board that look pretty good. Their cost will almost certainly be well below what it would cost you to make your own.
OTOH, if you're really wanting to make your own, skip the particle board and get a decent grade cabinet ply in whatever species you like best.
find a local hardwood supplier, the kind that can get you unplaned all the way down to s4s, they should have the quality ply you need as well as all your other woods.
