Calling Okume plywood is like referring to fine porcelain as "baked
mud".
Sounds like you are stressed out Hairy, and too much in touch with
your inner child again. Maybe you should go check your shrink wrap
this afternoon and give the internet a rest. Better yet, build a boat
or two.

Sorry, Whine, but when my father built boats, he built their hulls and
decks of mahogany ply, because the wood was beautiful, and it was strong
and pretty rot-resistant. That's mahogany ply, not okume. I have seen
some nice okume cigar boxes, which is a suitable use for a wood that
isn't going to be epoxied.- Hide quoted text -

I don't use a material because it is "beautiful", I use it because it
is the best material available. I don't make ornaments, I make
tools... Say what you want Harry, I know what I do with the wood, your
lame insults are of no concequence. Funny how you would consider a
hand made wooden boat made of new high quality composites to be
inferior, then spend nearly 100 grand on a floating clorox bottle,
with a big frekin' hole to boot


Hairy's very upset today.
