Danish oil isn't UV/weatherproof, so you'd better get some exterior
varnish on there in a hurry, before the rains start.

P.S: Now you can see the nice wheelybin cover and the ugly paint
horses next to it! bseg

Would that be necessary with Marine Plywood?

Did you use a Domino to cut the mortises?

Absolutely.

Plywood is still plywood.

Basically, marine plywood has no internal voids which makes it
suitable for bending.

I understand, but the final resting place is under cover and it will not be
getting wet.

The ply in question is actually straight grained, resin bonded birch ply,
originally intended for the marine industry. It will not delaminate when
wet.
As such, I don`t know if it can really be called ply, as all the laminations
have the grain orientation in the same direction, as opposed to normal ply
where the grain is orientated perpendicular to the previous layer. ( I know
what I mean ) !! Anyway, it came in quantity, and cheap ! so I`ll use it
:-))


Did you use a Domino to cut the mortises? -:

No, I "cheated" I first cut a 10mm slot (dado) (trench) along the entire
length of the timber to a depth of 15mm ( tablesaw)
The slats had all been ripped to 10mm, then planed to just under 10mm so
they fit the "slot" nicely
I then cut a "filler" 10mm wide by 16mm with the short face matching the
grain orientation of the slot. This "filler" was then cut into pieces 15mm
long
( the exact gap between slats ), The pieces were then glued and tapped into
the slots in the appropriate positions to form the mortices, leaving each
one slightly proud of the surface ( 1mm )
Once the glue was dry, a single pass on the planer removes all the tops of
the infilled pieces, leaving a nice finish, and mortices that fit perfectly.
There probably is a term for this method, but I do not know it.( I am not a
woodworker by trade, more like its my "retirement" calling :-)
Mortice by stealth perhaps ?


Thanks folk for viewing and commenting :-))

Would that be necessary with Marine Plywood?

I would thinks so, absolutely. Marine ply is set for use in highly
humid areas, not underwater, etc. And danish oils evaporate in the
sun. I used to re-Watco my Mom's front door a couple times a year
(0000, brush, wipe with Watco, took about half an hour each time), and
it was under the shelter of a roof. It did, however, get the full
Southern California sun every afternoon. Had it been exposed to humid
elements, it (the door, not just the finish) would have disintegrated
in a year, I'm sure.

Danish oil (Watco, et al) is made for indoor use. Exterior varnish
(Spar, Waterlox Marine Sealer & Finish, etc) was developed for
exterior use in the sun and rain. They're a lot tougher and contain
UV barriers to slow the graying of wood (ick!) and protect it better
from rot.

http://fwd4.me/1zy Waterlox Original Marine Finish
If you don't let it get so bad it peels, simply reapply finish. No
sanding necessary. (disclaimer: I haven't yet used this particular
Waterlox, only their Original Satin, which I swear by.)


P.S: Here's a nice woodworking project for ya, eh?

Watch for delamination in the end grain of the ply.
It does still need to be well sealed to avoid the issue of coming apart.
nice work also....
