1/4" Luan Plywood For Kayak Construction
By:Tom Jablonski

Have read about pro and cons of Luan (or Luaun or however it is spelled) and was wondering if anyone has used it to build stitch and glue kayak out of it. I have used it to build 14' foot skiff, and had no problems with it, but was wondering if use for CLC West River or Cheasapeake would be a problem. My main concern would be if thicker plywood would cause problems with construction of the boat. Any comments welcome.
