sorry another thing 14mm is the average thickness of a board a 14mm ply sheet has been made to be solid in a FLAT form not bent and warped. Yes its made of thinner sheets its self but in all likelyhood it wil snap during pressing or the first ride you take on it. get yer self some 4mm or 3mm hoop pine from bunnings from memory its $32 for a 1.6m x 2.4m sheet i got 2 boards out of one sheet.
