: I pay about the same as Robert: $90 a sheet for 4mm Joubert... Plus
: add pick-up or delivery. The nearest dealer is over an hour
: away.

: Strip is more economical for me. For hard-chined design with flat
: side and bottom you can rip you strips on the flat dimension.
: Stripping is VERY quick when your strips are 4 wide...

This has occurred to me as well. 8/4 and 10/4 are more economical than 4/4. 8/4 and 10/4 are the same price R1E, so dressed I could have 8/4 VG strips. But- the plywood is cheap too...

I also thought since I don't plan to do it bright that it might be a good time to experiment with a cheaper brand of epoxy.
