: I plan on building a stich and glue kayak this fall, and have been looking
: around for plywood. None of the lumberyards around here (Winnipeg,
: Manitoba) carry okoume or meranti or luaun. One place will order okoume
: for me, but I have to buy a minimum of 25 sheets (ouch!). A few do carry
: 1/8" birch and oak plywood. I believe the oak and birch is just a
: veneer, I'm not sure what the core is made of. It looks quite nice. Would
: this suffice for a stitch and glue kayak? I am concerned that the wood is
: too dense or heavy for such a project.

CLC sells and ships Okoume plywood. 4mm 4' x 8' is $45.00 per sheet and will ship 16mm in thickness for $75.00. Ouch!
