I need some white mahogany plywood for the back of a cabinet I'm building
out of white mahogany. Well, you can't buy WM plywood. So, what if I resaw
and plane some stock down to 1/8", then glue it on to a 1/8" luaun plywood?
Will that work? Any problems with separation? How should I go about
glueing it down on that thin stock? Can't clamp it very easily.

I've heard of this being done, but I've never attempted it, until now. My
back needs to be 44 inches long, so gluing up a solid panel of thin stock
would be difficult.

Thanks.



I have "made" ply by gluing thinner sheets together with wood glue,
then used cans of paint, water-filled gallon jugs, sand bags, weights,
and anything else to weigh them until the glue dried (at least 2-3
days). A vacuum clamp would probably be easier. Another approach is
to use contact cement and a J-roller--no clamping with this method.
