I'm trying to use plywood for some jigs because I know it's usually flat and stable. However, every time I go to the store, the pieces I find are all warped or bowed. Has anyone else dealt with this problem? Any tips on where to find genuinely flat plywood? Thanks!

Make sure you're looking for the right type of plywood. If you're just grabbing whatever from the big home improvement stores, it might not be suitable for woodworking. Look for options specifically designed for projects like yours. They definitely have better quality.
You might have to check out a more specialized lumber store. Sometimes the big-box retailers just don’t carry good quality plywood that’s flat. It’s a shame, but if you go for the higher-end or ‘bougie’ stuff, you might have better luck. It's worth a shot!
Good point! I guess I’ve been too focused on what’s easy to grab.
