Plywood is still plywood. Basically, marine plywood has no internal voids which makes it suitable for bending. Lew |

What's a wheelybin? um ! http://wheelybinwarehouse.com or Google ! :-)) Danish oil isn't UV/weatherproof, so you'd better get some exterior varnish on there in a hurry, before the rains start. 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/1zz Waterlox Original Marine Sealer 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.)

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.... jhohn "B.White" wrote in message ...
