: That's really slick Shawn. I especially like the way the two colors of
: plywood worked out.

Actually just one....okoume. All the spruce is strips. Deck strips are philippine mahogany.

Coaming is maple and mahogany.

Recess is spruce and WRC.

Outer stem strips are ash (gotta have outer stems..even on a S&G--something denser under the glass than okoume).

I'm not particular to any one wood! :)
