Thanks Don. The shelves are poplar. The sides are 2 layers of 3/8" bending plywood (LUAN) with layer of 1/8" poplar veneer that I milled on a planer with a sled. I would not do the outer layer of veneer poplar again, I would just use a filler on the luan ply.
The gunwale is 1/2" maple.
Right now i have 2 coats of Zinnzer stain blocking primer on it. I will probably finish with 2 coats of oil base low gloss or semi gloss. Haven't decided yet.
