I was going to use a 3/4 birch veneer plywood w/o studs but thought I could reduce weight by using a thin plastic veneer over a stud frame. How about stock hollow core door blanks (not predrilled)? I don't know how well the doors would work, but I can say that you can cut them down and use your circular saw to waste out some of the corrugated cardboard and insert solid wood if you need to on the ends. However, I would build bulkheads using thin ply, solid pine and another layer of thin ply. You could use 1/4" MDO maybe. |
