Are you looking to line a humidor? If so, plywood seems overkill. The lining of a humidor doesn't actually need to be very thick. I actually brought this subject up a few months ago. 1/4 inch is common, but 1/8 inch in thickness is sufficient.

You may want to research hardwoods retailers in your area instead of going through Home Depot. You can buy online as well. Spanish Cedar is definitely the most common solution. I think you can use Teak as well, but have no first hand knowledge or experience with using teak in a humidor.
