I am also interested in this question. Acouple of weeks ago I asked aboutusing plywood to laminate a one piece spar. Iknow in construction of homesa laminated beam is far stronger than a one piece. I don't think therewould be any cost savings. My opinion- Two plys of 3/8 with grain set todiffrent patterns would definetly be superior to one piece.Dick Navratil-----Original Message-----
