I need a 12-foot by 8.5" piece of 3/8" ply. The box stores only carry
8-foot ply stock. Already I have a 4x8' sheet of 3/8" ply. Is it
possible to make a 12-foot piece? I have most common tools.

Thanks for all the replies. This is for a shelf inside a 12-foot
valance I'm making. I found some good info on scarfing ply which is
often used in boat building. After some thought, I decided to make
the shelf out of solid pine (1/2" thick) and attach it to the valance
sides using a split tenon with 1/16" space allowance in the mortises
for seasonal changes. With requests, I'll post some pictures in the
pictures group.

Hollow pine would be lighter.
