Hi all need a bit of help here on the maltese luzzu.
ive got the plan and was thinking of doing it in ply wood , do you think this is ok , and would it be ok for the ribs to be made out of the same wood or should i use somthing softer.
thanks

From memory, I think the builder in the item used pine from old furniture which he cut to size with woodworking machinery (not everyone has access to these facilities). I no longer have the magazine item to work from, but I would be inclined to consider jellutong which is harder than balsawood and easy to carve. W Hobby of London stock certain sizes.
