resin impregnated wood runabout boat kit

The legality issue is well raised and I will look into it (when I get round to doing a second boat. It just leaves a very fine cut edge, a little bit charred, but only superficially. It cuts in normal ambient atmosphere but the speed the cutter head moves means the laser isn't stationary long enough to ignite the timber. It doesn't really burn the wood, it more 'instantly vapourises' it. To answer most (I hope) of the points raised : Thank you all so much for all your replies !! After all, wood is wood and it gets wet, swells, wick, etc. but I'm already about to embark on building the next boat. Yes, marine grade is better, will last longer, etc. Please don't let the purists dissuade you as long as you know what you're getting. I would not have the boat that I take my son sailing on almost every weekend during the summer if I had waited until I could afford marine grade at almost $100/sheet for 6mm (I think I paid $38 per sheet). I do have some dark spots from water intrusion, but for the price, the experience, etc. It has no footballs, bent perfectly, was about a third the price of marine grade. This plywood looks great finished bright, matches my oak gunwales, and the parts were planned so that the bad sides were all painted. With these factors in mind, I used 1/4' oak veneer plywood (for wainscotting) from Home Depot to build the entire boat. I also could not afford okoume, so sticking with marine grade plywood would mean that I would not build a boat at all. I was building from plans, so doubted my lofting abilities vs. My first build was a prototype Eastport Pram build.
