I have an area measuring 39 and 1/2" long by 7" wide which I need to plank longitudinally in 1/32" thick ply. Each plank needs to be 3/8" wide and approximately 7" in length.

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy these planks pre-cut? Or if I were to offer a suitable amount of beer vouchers, is there anyone who would cut them for me, please? I have neither the tools or the fingers to do a job like this...

How long are coffee stirrers?
you can buy them by the hundred on e-bay.

I use these a lot in various places. The secret to a good square end is the sanding machine.

If a thousand is too many, then you can always ask at McDonalds for a small handful every time you have a coffee.

Cheers

I have two boxes of coffee stirrers, a thousand per box...but they really need to be wider. No worries, I'll think of something...cheer, blokes.

Ok...thanks to Ian (IanPAL) I'm now sorted. He had quantity of wood strips which fit perfectly, they are nearly a metre in length, and half again as wide as a coffee stirrer.

Thanks to everyone who added comments etc...much appreciated. And thanks Ian.
