I have a rather complicated deck design in mind--some strips running from gunwale to gunwale, lots of short strips in between. Sounds like a nightmare using conventional stripping methods so I've come up with an idea to hybridize by starting with a 1/8" plywood deck and cover it with veneers. Anybody tried this or have any objections or suggestions? One immediate question--when using plywood is it possible to install it with a convex bend from sheer to sheer and a concave bend from stem to cockpit? I assume you would cut out a sliver from the middle? Any ideas, suggestions, pointed criticisms and other witty remarks greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom
