    Can someone explain this to me?

    How can you have a 3 ply plywood that is 1/64" thick? Or is that 1/64" per ply?
    I found this on a site that sells aircraft plywood.

    Why doesn't the word 'planing' show up in my computer spell check?

    Just checked a couple other places - the whole plywood is 1/64. There are veneers that are 1/100" thin, so I see why not slice them 1/200". Such veneer, however, would probably be very fragile, so laminating 3 layers produces a better result.

      I can believe it has to be thin / lightweight for inside an airplane.
      IF the picture is an actual picture. Look at the thickness of the wood and the grains in the wood. Looks like an awfully tight grain pattern.

        The dollhouse we're building has plywood like that, and it crumbles pretty easy. So it's a lot of re-glueing the flakes back on before we sand and paint it. Not a bad project for winter, makes her happy
