Yeah, some ply theses days is appalling quality. ?Pine shuttering ply is almost better! At least they know how to deal with voids and overlaps when they make that stuff. The multi-lam birch ply (you

Consistency?!? A few weeks ago, I bought some 3/4" plywood from Home Depot (a large north American box store);? When I got it back to the set shop, I discovered that one of the sheets was really

Is sugar pine ever sold as such?? I don't know how well it cuts or how strong it is, but if you ever see someone in a western forrest with their nose stuck in the bark of a large pine tree, it will

Ideally the timber should be quarter sawn. Imagine a board taken right through the middle section of a tree (discarding the heartwood). The annular rings run vertically, and any movement (distortion)

Hey Wade My original DB200 box is a fine grained softwood. My first inclination is that it's Ponderosa Pine, but softwoods are notoriously difficult to ID positively. If the box was made in Europe,

Tamra, my two boxes are solid wood sides with plywood on top and bottom. I can make box joints fine and have all the tools needed for this. I am trying to identify the wood used in my box. It is very

And if you want to be fussy, you can hand cut dovetails for your box, and then use any wood your head or heart desires. I think the jointmaker pro from bridge city tools is one of the coolest saws I
