: Good info, I suspect they are just plain old yellow wood screws, I
: just bought a box from the local Lowe's since I was first
: planning on pulling them out and using pegs. Even with screws
: though, I was going to epoxy, so it really is just a screw vs
: peg issue, I'm leaning towards proper water safe screws and
: epoxy. Pulling all those screws out only to drill and replace
: with pegs seems like a tremedous hassle if there is no real
: strength benefit. I'm planning on doing the tightly sewn skin
: also, so I figure the combination of everything will help hold
: it together.

Screws don't hold well at all into edge grain plywood, the dowels hold really well, big difference.
