Why would you want to do this?
You would have difficulty fairing the finished surface because the rather thin plies in the plywood would break thru during fairing and sanding. If you have a design that calls for strip planking but want to use plywood, convert it to glued lapstrake. Tom Hill's book Ultralight Boatbuilding is the best book on this method for small boats.

I'm sorry. I too jumped to the conclusion the poster was refering to
plywood not solid wood. DUH! Any reasonably light weight soft wood that in compatible with epoxy would be suitable. Leo wrote: Hi to all, I'm newsbie. It could be possible to use okoume (gaboon) instead of Red Western Cedar in strip-planking? advandages/disadvantages? Thank's to all Ciao Leo |

I was not clear, not thinking that, in the "other side of the pond" (as Glenn says... eh,eh,eh :-)), solid okuomè could be a rare exotic wood. Here it is a valuable exotic wood but not so rare.
