They all seem to bend a little different. This is probably why most guys buy good quality plywood instead of luan. I did find some 1/4" birch ply as well as some 1/4" sanded ply at Home Depot... at 3x and 2x the price of luan respectively. I would like better wood for the inside since it will be stained, but we will cross that bridge when we get there.
Some progress pics for you. I would like to finish skinning the outside before I post another video.
Very nice looking build! How are you lining up the joints in the luan? I want to use 1/8 birch, but can only find 5x5' sheets and my build is wider then 5'
