Cosa tratta questo video
Kent Blair visits World Panel in Windsor, North Carolina to buy marine-grade lumber for two projects: a half-inch-thick akume plywood sheet in a 5×10 format and 14-foot doug fir two-by-fours destined to be laminated into spars and booms replicating the wooden originals used on Sunfish and Sailfish sailboats.0:24 The akume ply has seven plies for half-inch thickness, waterproof glue between each layer, and clean faces on both sides with no voids, plugs, or football patches — contrasting it with big-box store plywood that may have only three or five plies and no waterproof adhesive.2:14 World Panel operates two locations, one in Windsor and one in Florida, and ships directly to customers within a couple of hours of either store.3:10 The Windsor location stocks teak, white oak, poplar, sapele, and doug fir, plus specialty products including teak plywood with holly strips inlaid for a traditional teak-and-holly deck look.3:52 Blair notes that sourcing quality marine lumber is one of the hardest parts of small wooden boat building, and that using substandard material undermines the time invested in construction.5:04
