: Thanks for the reminder. Did you work with the BS 6566 Okoume? My Noah's
: catalogue shows that as ~20% less expensive than the BS 1088 version. Did
: you find any voids?
: grant

I don't know for sure what grade it is, but when I asked them for the 1088, it was about 20-25% more cost and they would have to order it. All of the plywood that I've purchased from Windsor over the past 5 or 6 years has been of great quality. No voids or defects to speak of. I even dig through the 1/8" luan pile and pull all of the clean, dark purple pieces when they get new shipments. Of course when looking at the Okoume pile, they all seem very consistant in quality. Windsor is another fantastic source of free wood, just have to be willing to dig through their dumpster. I usually take home more free wood than purchased wood. I try to drive by their dumpster once a week, if possible. It's amazing to me what they will throw away.

There's a huge range of plywood grades that will work well for your/my project, it depends partly on how much money you want to spend and if you're going to paint the hull or not.
