Just an update on this project. I received the Teak plywood. It was shipped Fedex because it was only a half sheet. It was packaged in cardboard and all corners were damaged. The piece also has a slight bow to it. This all for $160 dollars. I will use it because I only need about 1/3 of it but probably try a different company or approach if I have to do the other side. As soon as the weather warms a few degrees I will start cutting and coating.
