Default Headliner backing?

The plywood refereed to as "door skins" is actually a type of mahogany.
It's called Luan, and if it were refereed to as a type of mahogany it
wouldn't be looked down on.

This is really wonderful stuff. I've built several small boats from it.
waterproof glue, rot resistant, tight, few voids. If you pick the
right piece, it looks great varnished. It is the right material for a
headliner backing.

Don't know why people think it's substandard.

It's at Home Depot, they sell it everywhere.
