if you use lowes main site to search for arauco, nothing will shows up.

that was my final decision to go arauco; if both wood does the job fine, i'll pick the lighter of the two; since my t48 add up weight quickly.

I picked up the BB at Ft worth Plywood and it is a 9Ply. Their website said 7.
It was 24.00 for the 5x5 or 49.00 for the 4x8 so i bought 3- 5x5 sheets.
I should have got 4 at least. After cuting the pieces out for the t39 at 30' wide I went through 2+ sheets and I've still got the back, bottom and the front braces.
and I will have to get another sheet for the OT12.
T39 / OT12 Bass rig
2 T-48
4 DR250, 6 T-48 in the works

Download this program and use it before cutting any more, it will help you layout all the pieces to make best use of the wood. Put all the panels you need in the program ....OT12 and Titan. It will save you $$$..
