Am looking for plywood less than 4 mm. Apparently, Okoume has no rot

Okoume less than 5/32" thick.
Any ideas?


You can try Aircraftspruce. they have plywood down to 0.8 mm I
beleive.

A point that most people overlook is the weight of the plywood. Over
herer we have plywood made in Burma, Indonesia and Thailand - all made
from tropical hardwoods and in some cases nearly twice as heavy as
okoume. A boat built from okoume turns out to be substantially lighter
then one built from local supplied plywood.

Out of curosity, what are you going to use ply thinner then 4mm for?
