Re: S&G: plywood
In Response To: Re: S&G: plywood (Johne)
: I built a S&G canoe out of Luan about 10 years ago and I still paddle it
: around. The key is to completely seal the wood with epoxy, particularly
: the edges and ends. Keep it painted and dry it out after use. The main
: drawback is the voids and non-uniform bend quality of the wood. It is a
: real pain to cut a piece out and start to bend it into shape and have it
: snap in half due to a bad spot in the plys.
Ten years ago plywood was vastly better than it is today.
