With the grain running the same way it seems it would counteract the pulling
apart of either ply since it is glued to another piece of like wood
underneath.  I think also it would not be as rigid as cross plying would be.
Yes-No?
Do I remember Astin-Wate as a maker that made high quality laminated boards
that sounded very good?
