: Chalk another vote for SOF... specifically, I'm building a pair of
: Tom Yost's designs over the winter, after the wife decided she
: wanted one, too. I might talk my mom into a Chuckanut 10/12 by
: Dave Gentry.

: I'm in Albany... if I remember correctly, I found a yard that
: carried both MDO and marine plywood, in addition to western red
: cedar. They're in Manchester, CT... can't remember their name,
: but they were listed on Woodfinder.net.

Btw, even though it's not terribly pretty, MDO plywood works great for Yost frames.

I've oiled them, ends up kinda tan looking, not bad but certainly not wood grain. Nice thing is it's really easy to draw right on the plywood and it cuts nicely with little splintering.
