[QUOTE="gogittum, post: 481640, member: 27114"] This brings up a thought I've had many times. Regular lumberyard 1/2" & 3/4" plywood seems to have lots of voids, knots and repairs, it's quite rough finished and doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in me. I've looked at furniture grade plywood which I "think" is imported Birch plywood from Scandinavia and a piece of 3/4" I'm looking at right now has 12 plys and they are tight with zero voids. The stuff is smooth finished and rock hard, too.....seems like a Very superior product to me...BUT.... How resistant to rot would it be ?? Looks like it should seal well.....?? I've never really worked with it. I'm sure it must be much more expensive but I'd much prefer it if it were My transom. [/QUOTE]
