Hi Mark,

I'd rather not wager on this until we can specify the  terms of the
bet: ie...what weight range constitutes "heavy"???  Or if we're
betting on my guesstimate then what range of values is considered
accurate??

My point was simply that the original german plywood is a LOT heavier
than it looks.

Happy trails,
