Calling Okume plywood is like referring to fine porcelain as "baked
mud".

Sounds like you are stressed out Hairy, and too much in touch with
your inner child again. Maybe you should go check your shrink wrap
this afternoon and give the internet a rest. Better yet, build a boat
or two.

Sorry, Whine, but when my father built boats, he built their hulls and
decks of mahogany ply, because the wood was beautiful, and it was strong
and pretty rot-resistant. That's mahogany ply, not okume. I have seen
some nice okume cigar boxes, which is a suitable use for a wood that
isn't going to be epoxied.
