Michael- do you have a particular finish you place over the wood. What type of wood did you use. Lee Boynton uses polyurethane on marine grade plywood.

Marvin: I used 1/8th birch plywood I bought at a hobby store. It's pretty fine stuff - cabinet grade - made for modeling. I cut them out, sanded them very smooth with sand paper and my dremel for the thumbhole and the edges. I stained them with some tung oil mixed with Burnt Sienna oil paint. When it dried, I put on about 6 coats of straight tung oil sanding inbetween coats with 600 grit auto sandpaper. At the end of each day, I clean it with odorless turps and hand rub a coat of walnut oil into it and hang it on the wall till the next day.
I love them.
