You guys... grrrr... Okay, I guess it'll be more okume for the decks then. How does 3mm Okume + 3.5 oz RAKA cloth sound for a Mill Creek 13?

I am having less problems with my ears, by the way, especially after I took a 6-cell Maglite to the local plywood emporium. With it I saw plenty of voids in the wood where none were apparent upon close external examination. Yikes! Boy, am I ever glad I consulted this board. Thanks for helping this first-timer along!

Now I find myself agonizing over whether to build the hulls from 3mm or 4mm okume. I wish to build light and cheap, but certainly not at the expense of structural integrity. I am budgeting for 4mm, but secretly hope that everyone will talk me into using 3mm...
