The base is 1/4" plywood that's bend to form the ski. It needs to be high quality plywood, but I'm not sure what to ask for or look for. Is there a name or name brand of plywood that I should be buying?

Thanks.


Why not buy some air dried oak or ash, rip some 3/16 slats, sand to 1/8", then laminate your own? A WWII blade would cut 1/8 (or less) slats, leaving little to no saw marks, hence no sanding. Thin slats are easy to bend to form.

I think bending plywood involves heating the ply before bending or while bent..... Hot press type jig for bending.
