Does anyone know where I might find the specific gravity (lbs/ft3) for common marine plywoods?
or even a close "rule of thumb"?

Okume?
Marine doug fir?
MDO?

Thanks

Here is a site that gives specific weights on thicknesses and types, at least of what they carry.

Look under 'products' at the top of the page.

Very nice! smile.gif

I was close with .041 for my Okume calculations.

Thank you.

PS. (Thanks for the great FreeShip forum Lewisboats)
