[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 454527, member: 15636"] Well, NOT when you cut it that thin (height) it doesn’t. Try it for yourself ... Plus every wooden boat build site will tell you the same thing, [u]run/aling the exterior grain with the longest run[/u] for the build. You are quite right that alternating ply’s are put at 90-degrees to each other, but the back & face veneers are always aligned. There will always be 1 more ply aligned to the face/back than the other orientation, hence that is indeed stronger. [/QUOTE]
