why do you have to glue two pieces of ply wood together, when u could just buy a thicker piece of ply wood???
does it have to do with the flex?I'm no craftsman but if i used just one thicker piece of plywood, it would probably get trashed pretty quick. It would get cracked under pressure and stress, easier to get warped most likely too. I'm sure the two pieces really helps the flex, hence, less chance of pressure cracks and longer life.
Boards made out of bamboo and hemp are more expensive because the material is better overall. Bamboo is a lot stronger, durable, and flexible than ply. Still, the bamboo is layered with other material to improve performance and it's life. Than there are carbon fiber bottoms... and aluminum decks. Those decks by roger's bros last a lifetime with abuse.Thats a good question, Cant help you there but I made a long board out of a old downhill ski with a thin aluminum deck screwed on top of the ski. The ski was cut to give the flex i wanted (more towards the front) and will never lose its flex like my old plywood boards. just a idea.
