Re: [bolger] Re: 1/4 " solid hardwood ply

Perhaps an intervention called for? Can envision this as reality TV show subject.

I wonder how they keep it from crawling off they racks once the un-band the pallets?
How do they get it flat when manufactured?

Even exterior grade glues can fail dishwasher testing due what I have found seems to be starved joints. Poor quality control particularly in plywood from China. Some advertised as "solid core" has  a thicker central core with two onion skins added on the exterior. These outer skins will sometimes wrinkle in places as well. And not all "hard woods" are really all that hard. By definition - "A description applied to woods from deciduous broad-leafed trees (Angiosperms). The term has no reference to the actual hardness of the wood." 

1/4" veneer cut? Odd. Should be as durable as lumber of that species. You might see what Glen says about it.

It would require a log larger than 4 ft diameter to made a " solid "
wooden panel without glue.
It would cost you your children , or more.
It would also be highly dimensionally unstable and totally unsuitable
to use to build anything .
You would be lucky to get a thin piece of veneer that size these days.
This could not possibly be solid , one piece " wood ".

Personal experience says that is not so. And I have had failures on exterior
plywood also. The dishwasher test is a good first screening.

Most, if not all plywood is made with exterior glue now.

Well color me interested...

But in 4 x 8 sheets it's still going to be glued together and, I expect, unless those glue lines are purple it's not going to be too awfully boat friendly.

But my big question is WHAT SORT OF HARDWOOD? Hardwood
is such a big umbrella it includes everything from balsa to ironwood so a little more info is needful.

Usually that is interior plywood and the glues will not hold up on a boat. Ask if
it is interior.
