Re: Stengthening Wood
A drawing would help...

I can't picture a "pole" made up of plywood. Did you laminate plywood together to get up to 1.4" thick, and then cut square sticks out of it? If so, you did a lot of work to make a synthetic stick. A simple 2x2 would have been a lot better than fashioning plywood into poles to support something.

Could you further explain your design? There's no reason you couldn't use wood for your purpose, but please give us a little more to go on.
