[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 435971, member: 13599"] Scott - where are you from ? do you have access to cypress or white cedar ? both are very good choices for above the waterline applications. although the cedar is a bit soft and dents easily. both look really nice when properly finished for exterior use. this is how you could use 3/4" BDX plywood with 1/8 - 1/4" cypress or cedar veneer. [ATTACH type="full" alt="veneer.jpg"]92598._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="7.JPG"]92596._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="new transom 1.JPG"]92597._xfImport[/ATTACH] if you go with any clear natural wood finish, be aware that it is a maintenance item. the varnish (not uretahne) must be applied in a thin coat every year for the proper UV protection. minimum of 6 coats before installation. of course you can always use a nice plywood with a stain of your choice and finished the same way..... I would epoxy the end grain heavily prior to varnish. Less maintenance if you go with the painted finish. . [/QUOTE]
