[QUOTE="perchin, post: 133243, member: 2620"] As an avid woodworker, I can tell you with great confidence that the ply would out last the solid wood. Wood expands and contracts with the temperature. Solid wood's grain runs all in one direction, meaning the wood is apt to shift and twist. With ply, they run each ply's grain in a different direction. This makes it stable and less apt to twist, bow, bend, and though it may not seem it, Stronger. Just laminate two pieces of quality grade ply together, and wala. Most home centers offer cutoff's at a bargain price. If you can, use some ply that has at least 9 ply's to it. [/QUOTE]
