I use epoxy embalmed plywood myself. You know, they used to build

Epoxy "saturated" wood is highly over rated IMHO (although
it does take a thread fairly nicely). The stuff will still
rot. Epoxy "saturation" helps a lot but it's really a
misnomer since it doesn't get more than about 1/8" into the
wood.

For that matter, wood will also warp if exposed to UV or hot
water, or if the grain is funny in a spot you can't see.
