In Response To: Skin on frame S&G (Mike)

I thought he was talking about still applying a skin, but just using the ply to form the frame, instead of sticks.

The plywood would loose most of its compression strength along its axis where the cutouts are made, in length and width. This would have to be compensated for with the joints and angles. A flat joint would be least strong.
