Could this "coosa" board be used to build the WHOLE boat? I see a lot of guys building boats out of plywood, and am thinking of making one myself! But, i worry the plywood would be subject to rot in a short time!
Hey there JC! Coosa can most certainly be cut on a table saw. The size of the blade will be dependent on what you are doing, but it is recommended that you use a carbide blade as the material is very strong. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Coosa board would not be a good material for bare decking as it has fiberglass pieces within it for structure and is very coarse (almost like volcanic rock). It would not necessarily be slick when wet, but you would want to put some type of material over it for sure. Please let us know if you have any other questions we can help answer for you!
you can cut 1"grooves every 6 or so inches on opposite sides across the board to allow it to flex a little bit, I wouldn't suggest cutting it any deeper than that.
