Roger-n-Foster,

That is exactly (Home Base closeout mahoganny plywood) what I am using on my older brother's kayak. They weren't marked as either inside or outside. I went back a month ago and they only had one piece (severly battered) left, their inventory up here is getting very low. Most of the stuff uses the same glue now anyway. Besides, we'll be sheathing it inside and out with fiberglass and epoxy, so the wood will stay dry. Are you looking at the 1/8" or the 1/4"? We went with the 1/8". With glass on both sides of 1/4", we'd have a 60+ pound kayak. I've been trying to talk my bother into starting a website. If he does this, I'll post the pics of it.

Is this for the Wacky Lassy? Ours is for another plywood Walrus, shortened to 15' with a plumb bow and stern.

: My brother's local Home Base is closing so there are great deals going down.
: He spotted some door skins but can't tell if they are inside or outside
: skins. If they are outside we'll probably by them all. How can we identify
: which is which? Lots of labels are missing.
