In Response To: Material: Paulownia plywood (Sam McFadden)

For those interested in light stitch-and-glue boats, Fiberglass Supply has started to offer thin Paulownia plywood.

Interesting. What do you think the strength tradeoff will be? Probably does not have the compression strength of okoume, and the sheer strength to the fiberglass may be less.
