If it's not broken, you're not trying hard enough.

Nice. The inside wood looks really nice. Looks like you're going to have a really nice galley too.
That little Cubby is sure looking good!
(Can't wait to get out and camp in ours again!)

Nice work. Out of curiosity, what kind of plywood are you using for your interior skins and where did you get it?

I keep telling myself that the nice weather will be here soon and, I'll be building outside soon.

Yes, Birch - 1/8 bendable birch. I had no problem with it bending. In fact it was a pain to hold it up to shoot the brads. It literally bends on its own.

This is the place: http://www.hardwoodweb.com/

You may have to call for stock availability and buy what they have in stock. They have bendable MDF starting at 1/4 inch. You could do your own veneering!!

Having said that, I was not pleased with the application of the veneer to the core. It probably was just the run that I got. Other sheets may look better. If you notice in some of the pics the veneer is in strips about 6" wide giving it a "stripped" appearance. Fortunately I'm not into esthetics that much. I'm much more pragmatic and this "works" and works well.
