And a chance to see the difference when routing boxes such as drawers and so on. I went to Richmond, about a 90 minute drive and picked up 2- 1/2" 5'x5' sheets and 2 - 3/4" 5'x5' sheets to do some smaller projects I've wanted to do. I'm looking to see how well this wood will take a jig dovetails with a backup board of course and stand up to box joints. Both tried with big box ply and wasn't happy. What I noticed right off the bat was it seems to weigh more than the 4x8 sheets and I suspect it's the additional plys versus the fill. Was a bit more than I cared to test on the "new" shoulder. Could have waited a few more weeks for that. Just does fit in the bed of my pickup but getting it past the tailgate where there's a bit of a L to where the tailgate closes means you need to raise it up and then out........any suggestion on joints with this plywood appreciated.
