Apparently it's time to celebrate this surprising material.

I know it has its fans on here ............ unless i'm thinking of a different forum..... i get confused.

Plywood is a wonderful composite material.

 

[Globalti]

Yeah, boring stuff, plywood. You can't make anything nice with it.

CycleChat's doyen of 'ply by nights' @threebikesmcginty making an exhibition of himself...nothing new there.
Seriously, if you haven't seen one of his videos 'ere now, you are missing some sterling work. "Bring back the birch!"

I bought two sheets of 12mm WBP Latvian birch ply a couple of months ago. Fantastic stuff. They cost £90.

Thought they were paddles.

Thought they were paddles.

In some countries maybe, but you would be amazed at the amount of technical changes there have been. Even the balls have got bigger.
