Bill,
I have almost finished a CLC Chesapeake 16 which Ive made from 1/4" red meranti marine ply. (I havn't figured out if meranti and luan are the same thing or not.
It is slightly heavier but considerably cheaper than okuome, which is called gaboon here in New Zealand hence my earlier comment.)
The only bad thing about it was the number of splinters I got. It handled the twist at each end of the hull just fine.

Pete
