So in my quest to figure out what projects to do and which to not do one sort fell in to my lap (so to speak) this weekend.
While checking on the boat and looking to see if I could tackle replacing the hoses etc for the scuppers (which I can't because ice) I bumped the table, it fell. The really expensive fake wood edge banding popped off and I was struck with the uglyness of the plastic wood top. I also noticed the I'm sure incredibly comfortable when sleeping wood 'keep things on the table' bits.
I figured since everything is covered in snow and frozen solid I'd make a new table.
So my question is, do I need to/should I/It's highly recommended to make the table out of marine plywood or since it's inside the cabin anything will work? I think the existing table (I assume the original) is made of presswood? Since I only want to do this once and do it right what is the best option?
