There's some good stuff in here. Unless it's common knowledge, I think you'll agree. I've been finding some interesting reading relating to lumber production that we could use. I didn't finish this yet but note the proper grade of sandpaper for solid wood vs veneer(plywood) and the preference for machined vs sanded surfaces. If you read it let me know what you think.

This is old but addresses plywood in aircraft construction directly
