Re: bed wood

Not a good place for plywood. When the finish breaks down, the plys absorb water real fast. If you want to use wood, I would use a good hardwood like oak. Poplar is cheaper and safter, but should work. All of the holes need sealed. I've had good results with 2 coats of Thompson's water seal and 2 coats of oil base paint.
