KIDYAK BILL OF MATERIALS

LUMBER: Pine, mahogany, spruce, or most any type of clear wood can be used. Lumber is "four quarter" lumberyard stock, usually finished to 3/4" net thickness. Material called out as 1/2" is usually ripped from "four quarter" lumber.
PLYWOOD: All plywood must be intended for marine or exterior use. Interior grades are NOT acceptable. The prototype used a "door skin" plywod with luan veneers that is somewhat less than 1/8" in thickness. It is important that the door skins have exterior glue, which is something that is sometimes difficult to acertain. Door skins are inexpensive, however, if your budget can handle it, 1/8", 3mm, 4mm, or 1/4" imported or domestic plywood of better grades are preferable.
