Luan is used for subfloor under some types of flooring. It is a sort of
mahogany species. Meranti is sometimes the species used in luan plywood. Do
a google search for meranti plywood and you come up with boat building
results. If I were to build a skiff I would use 3/8" or 1/2" since 1/8"
luan will easily warp anywhere it needs to span any structural members.

Do you think it is possible to build an 8-foot skiff or dinghy using 1/8"
luan?
