Cubby hatch skin

I am currently building the hatch for my Cubby. There was an earlier thread on bending luan plywood but for the hatch I realized that rather than fight the grain I can run the grain at right angles to the length of the hatch and the plywood bends much easier in this direction. The 48 inch width of the plywood will span the length of the Cubby hatch. Maybe I'm the last person to notice this. I will try it this week and post some pictures of the results. George.
