Wouldn't your skateboard wheels get caught up in the open squares?
What would you skin it with? -
for skateboarding ... of course!... why waste it by putting water in there?
surface = 2 layers of 1/2" ply then a final surface of 6mm Finland birch

12 inch ?
in 2011 there are always these sortes of measures?
That is completely incongruous!
Decimal system don't penetrate in the new world?

1/2" is 'half' an inch ~12.7mm
So 12mm ply in EU/Rest_of_the_World == 1/2" ply in USA... -
A quick way of converting imperial fractions to metric is....
1/2" = 16/32" (Change to 32nds if possible)
Multiply 16 by 8 ( 16 * 8 = 128)
Put in a decimal at one decimal place
so 128 = 12.8mm
It.s an approximation but a pretty close one.
Boring message over

Sweet model Jeff!
How did you make the bowl shape(the negative space)? ...is it mathematically generated?

Decimal system don't penetrate in the new world?i admit, metric makes way more sense.. i guess we're (americans) just stubborn? or too lazy to switch?

just easier for us to call it half.23/32 = 3/4" ply
19/32 - 5/8" ply

What !!!
The USA has [slightly] thinner plywood than the rest of the world ??
Let's all agree to call it '12mm'
Did you make the model out of Slicer cuts or ModelSlicer ?
I have a project on the backburner to make a Slicer+Slotter using components in the assembled set and flattened...

Plywood is almost always thinner than the dimension it is called but then so is all other wood. A 1x6 will be 3/4 in. thick by 5-1/2" wide. If you want one inch thick lumber you have to buy 6/4 and surface it.

i guess you could say that

there is 0.3 mm on the fly !
The sawdust?@unknownuser said:
each one of those squares = 12"
So the square of Jeff 12" must be 30.5 cm or 30.48 cm ?

any way we call it, that's still an awful lot of cardboard!

Ha...Nice, that makes sense because its so hard to reliably make something like that in SU that corresponds to real-world requirements

As I said it's on the "backburner" - it's item #9 today - but it was #8 last week !

I'm still excited. I can wait u out.
