Well, my ocd kicked in yet again today. I was in Home Depot picking up yet another load of plywood for the tear and came across a new stock of plywood. I started to check out the new stuff and found it was 3/4 Classic Oak. The grain and lack of any voids made the plywood look very awesome. I have been buying 3/4" Birch for my floors and walls but the Oak was just calling out to me. Most of my internal cabinets and framing will be oak so I figured I would buy two sheets of the stuff. It was a bit more expensive than the birch at $39.99 a pop. I loaded up two sheets and figured I would use it on the inside of my tear. When I got home, I began to stand back and look at my birch walls and decided something was bothering me about the shape near the rear lower portion. On a snap decision, I put my trusty 1/2" Sandelply Template back up on the saw horses and began to reshape it giving the template a more rouned and smoother appearence. WHen I got done shaping with the belt sander, I decided to use the newly acquired oak plywood for my walls...even though I had already routed out two nice birch walls with doors. Yep, my OCD forced me to route out two more walls with the improved profile. I figured I can cut up the birch plywood walls and use on the inside instead of wasting it.
Anyway, I placed the newly routed oak walls up against the floor and took a few pics of the improved profile.

A nice shot of the improved profile. Something about oak just catches my eye. Sure, I may cover it with fiberglass or filon but I believe in using the best materials in and out.
