Yes. This has been covered at least 3 times before, read through the thread. I think the last time it was covered was only a few pages back

you pretty much only have to worry about cross plys when your working with veneer..
btw, how many of you guys have worked with a stringer design,
i was thinking of having like a 9mm veneer deck, that would be too weak to ride just like that, then adding veneers in a stringer design on the bottom...
what do you guys think???

never use the piece going along the bottom (short grain).
It adds extra thickness (weight) for very little to no stiffness gain.
Ply board already has cross plys to stop your deck splitting up the middle.

A half sheet of 4mm marine ply will cost you $50 from ottos timber. thats 1200 by 1200. i can take 4 blank pieces lengthwise and 1 along the bottom.
but ive found the best way to buy is like 2400 by 600 or something like that size then you get 4 blanks to put in the press and nearly no waste and its bit cheaper
