[QUOTE="Matt Duncan, post: 32466, member: 658"] Re: DIY mini-stage/riser/platform I know this thread has a little age on her, but it has been a good source of information. I'm looking at building my own drum riser, as the cost of a 8x8 pro riser is rather prohibitive right now. I've been comparing the DIY riser to the pro decks - outside of cost, I see weight being the other huge difference. That brings me to my question - what is the general consensus on using marine plywood for the deck? A 4x8x3/4 sheet of okoume marine plywood is about half the weight of regular wood, albeit at a much higher cost, but still less than an aluminum/wood pro deck & probably even less weight. I don't know much about what types of wood are harder/stronger/lighter than others so hopefully y'all can shed some light on it for me. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
