SCUTUM, building and testing, some thoughts

[Magnus]

Oooohhhhh...that's an interesting point matt. In fact, I'd wonder if the inner layer of plywood wasn't some different type of wood, and the outer pieces something else. Kind of like how the japanese sandwhich highcarbon steel around a lower carbon steel core in their swords. Gives'em good flexibility but retains a lot of strength.

If not, be interesting to see if they used maybe a lower grade wood in the center, sandwhich'd between 2 good pieces of supplies were running low. Cool stuff!
