Sea Sled madness. It’s in my brain.

I special ordered 10' x 4' 1/2" ply from Vancouver when I did my decks.
But that was 18 years ago...

 

They just don't produce it anymore.

 

The plywood plant tells me they won't be making any for months. COVID-19 delays. Their production is slowed, and they won't make any until they are caught up on 4*8 sheets.

 

And nobody has any in stock?
Maybe the factory can tell you who they have last sold 10' ers to.

 

Seattle?

 

Maybe. I called around. Everyone is out. So I called the plant. Next spring.

Now its recalculate time.

 

I can get a 10 by 20 piece of ½" osb as a single piece. OSB is hardly ideal, but might do sheathed in epoxy.

 

What is the plywood for?

 

Wheelhouse roof

 

Curved or flat?

Two 1/4" roseburg marine panels are nice. Stagger joins. Epoxy them together.

curved-built laminated timbers from 1/2" knot free timber

 

Curved. Flat would be unattractive. And hold water at some point.

 

Make curved timbers on a jig.

use 1/4" okume or roseburg panels

sheath the top in 1200

 

I'll have to scarf them.

PAR was suggesting ¼ plywood with foam between. No interior framing, just 1" framing between the sheets.

 

These are redwood. Find some vg clear fir flooring or something like.

 

Okay, but then you have to build a mould. And as great as it sounds; wiring is easier with a gap.

mine will close with 4mm okume, but mahogany door skins would work as wel
