In Response To: S&G: Alternative to Real Wood? (Kurt Maurer)

I don't have a problem with Laun, but I would go with the 5mm (1/4") instead of the 1/8". I cam currently building a Cirrus out of Laun and the wood from Home Depot was good looking and no voids. Cost was $9.xx per sheet 4'x8'. Be careful when you pick out your wood and and you will be fine. Make strong joints and glass inside and out for sure.
