Plywood - talk to us about how you use plywood

[Gdeaver]

Wood is useful for prototyping. Our main use for plywood is for a core material. We use 4mm, 1/4" or 6mm Baltic Birch ply and put a layer of 5.7 oz plain weave carbon fiber on it using vacuum bagging method. In 2013 our shooter platform and electronics boards were done this way. Could we use other materials, yes, But it's a good intro to composites lesson. I'm being pushed to try honeycomb or foam core materials for 2014. You can't beat plywood in availability, price and performance in this app.
