What you want, to refine Galens suggestion is to
either find someone familiar with "marquetry" and
have that person make up a basket weave pattern
in a panel or learn to do it yourself.

Of course, once you start down this road, the plane
will never get finished!
A good artist knows his techniques, materials and how to use them.
A great artist knows when to stop.
The exception that proves the rule? William Turner.

I went to the hobby stores and bought Midwest brand
aircraft grade 5 ply birch plywood. It is very strong
and comes in a couple of different sizes. It is a
little pricey, but easily obtained.

Glad you liked it. I know that Richard Bach must have
sent in one photo (the one with me standing near the
front of the airplane-and there is a good story that
goes with that photo) but I have no idea how they got
the other two photos. Who knows, I may have sent them
in, you know how it is when you become ancient-the
memory just ain't that good. :)

Galen,
I have very good luck with Wicks. You can buy about any size. I buy a
4'x8' sheet and have them cut (to ship) to 2'x4'. Packed very well and
with regular UPS it gets to me in 2 days.
Jack

Bill,
It takes quite a sizable piece of 1/16" plywood to do the ribs, and there is
always other places to use it, so don't be shy about buying too much. Here is
a few links to some places I've heard about, although I've never bought any
there. The last two are info.

Jack,
I've heard that about Wicks too. I had bought some
from AS&S, pretty pricey but they shipped pretty
quickly. I had mentioned the hobby store ply as a
ready source and I use it in a pinch. It is a good
grade of ply and compares well with what I got at
AS&S. Thanks for the info though.
