I have a couple sheets of the stuff, scrounged from my neighbor the furniture salesman. I havent tried it for a coaming, because I think it would drink up too much epoxy? If I were to laminate it between 1/16" layers of veneer it would work, which is what they did with it at the shop. It's 3/8" thick.
: This is amazing stuff. I just cut up a whole sheet of this 1/8" Italian
: Poplar Bending Plywood to use for my cockpit rim on the Walrus Double-Open
: I'm building. Some 3" and some 6" for the back and front
: respectively. If I can squeeze one more picture out of Photo-Point before
: they shut 'er down, I'll show you what it looks like all cut up. Also got
: a start on glueing up one of the two paddles I will be making. Lots a Fun
: today. Well, not entirely. That plywood was a Mother-Bear to cut as it
: wants to bend all over while you are trying to feed it through the saw.
: More as I progress towards finishing in time for P.T. in Aug....
: Later......
: Rehd
: P.S. ( Ratz!! Photo-Point lied again! They were supposed to change on the
: 3rd. and I just went to my account and it is closed off. Oh well, no
: picture, but you should see this stuff. It's rolled up into a 20"
: circle of strips. The whole sheet looks like a christmas reath. Oh well,
: hard to describe without pictures. Later..... )
