OK I'm new here so be easy guys. I have read the whole thing on Pirogues and really have not seen the answer to these questions I'm about to ask, although I do feel they have probably been answered many times.
1. Is there a reason for not using 3/16" ply to split the difference between those that think you must have 1/4 or those that think 1/8 is sufficient ?
Seems like it would be the best of both worlds (Weight vs Strength)
2. What would be wrong with using the fine saw dust made from cutting plywood for cabinets for wood flour ? I notice under my table saw this is much finer than what you get from oak or pine boards.
3. Lengths for a pirogue seem to be a favorite topic of discussion for many different reasons, but haven't seen anyone talk about using 3 sheets of ply to make 2 pirogues. Butt jointed would make (2) 4'x12' sheets.
Ok flame suit on now let me have it.
