Default make your own plywood?

vaguely proposed a theory
.......and in reply I say!:

remove ns from my header address to reply via email

If you're going to use contact, and have not worked with it before,
practice several times until you get it right 3 X in a row, on
something that does not matter, but is a large area as you are
doing......

I did not follow that rule and now have a (perhaps unfair) hatred of
contact. My father swears by it. I swear at it.

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.
