In Response To: Re: Strip: Finally building (A. Edie)

So I'm not going to go stapleless on my first build. OK to be honest, I'm just not patient enough for it. So bandsaw is not an option, I only have a jigsaw. I also want to practice laminating strips before I get to outer stems.
SO with that said,
Softwood for a little less weight?
1/16th inch for easy bending??? Can I do it with 1/8 if so what wood?
How many ply are we talking? Do i need 1/2 total? More? Less?
