[bolger] Re: ply sources
Peter, thanx for clearing up the MDO question. Something else to put on my quest list. Ironically the hard lesson I learned about kitchen birch was from making an exterion sign for a friend. Looked like a busted bag of potato chips by spring.

MDO is 'medium density overlay.' It is plywood with a paper surface made for
painting. It is used for exterior signs, etc. In MAIB, there was an article
about building a Fast Motorsailer out of MDO and it was satisfactory, as far
as I know. Since it is intended for exterior signs, it is waterproof. There
is also a 'high density overlay,' I suppose.

I know you're kidding about the birch veneer, but if anybody out there
doesn't know, NEVER use kitchen grade cabinet ply on a boat. Most of it's
not made with waterproof glue. What by the way is MDO?

The more I thought about this, the more it seemed silly to restrict
yourself to boatbuilders. All kinds of tradesmen, like kitchen and bath
remodelers, use plywood in steady but small quantities, in both rough
construction grades and cabinet-level grades. A birch veneer could be
quite stunning, properly varnished.
Seriously, you might find someone with a source for MDO, for example.

For those of you without a nearby source of ply, I would ask if there is
a boatbuilder near you. Perhaps you could piggyback on a bigger
builder's order and keep shipping costs down.
