Either one is fine. I personally prefer the meranti or the mahogany over the okumefor the pure strength. The pure strength is a good thing because of howpeople get in and out of a piet stepping directly onto a 2 x 2 section of 1/4ply with their full weight. If you were really anal about helping people in andout, and being careful yourself, I think the okume would be fine.>From a "specification" standpoint, either is fine, don't worry about it.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 03 Jul 2012 18:31:39 -0500
