I am getting ready soon to order some 1/4 in thick plywood to make nose ribs for my Light Sport single place Great Lakes project. I have a few questions.
1. How much lighter is Mahogany than birch? in a 4 foot by 4 foot sheet, It looks like the Mahogany will be 171 dollars and birch will be about 70 dollars plus shipping. So how much weight could be saved using mahogany? I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and get mahogany.
2. Have you had luck getting plywood shipped to you with out damage? I am thinking I may have to make a trip to pick it up.
3. I intend to cut them out with a router attaching a pattern to the piece to be cut out.
Thanks guys and gals.
