Taking Advantage of Manufactured Edges on Plywood

In Response To: Strip: Building a Strongback (CH10)

I made my first start at a strip built two years ago and didn't even make a useful strong back. Now just retired, I'll try again.

My first attempt was a box beam construction with good plywood. A friend with a table saw made cuts. Now I've moved and don't know anyone to help with cuts, but I have my own saw.

I've wondered if starting out with a good quality plywood and having the supplier cut two good strips from each eight foot side wouldn't be a good way to start, thus taking advantage of a total of sixteen feet of manufactured edge and the great big saw of the supplier (Lowes in my case).
