I would also suggest Birch plywood, but specifically Baltic Birch ply, it is made up of multiple layers of veneer rather than the 3 layers typical for 1/4" ply. Also known as Finnish or Russian ply, it is bonded with Resorcinol glue, which is water resistant, glue lines show dark brown. It would be what Aircraft Spruce sells, but should be available at a good local lumber supplier.

It is a much better quality and stronger than regular plywood, and looks pretty good when finished. Lynn Nelsen In a message dated 11/24/2009 7:03:16 A.M.

I'd like something that will hold up a little better, not add weight, and maybe look better in case we decide to finish the surface instead of covering it with carpet. Maybe a hardwood veneer?
