Most of it *is* plywood, not sticks of wood. It is a stressed skin design, with the plywood cold molded into the complex curves. The bulkheads are also cut from plywood. The floor was end grain balsa, then covered with plywood. Modern airliners used balsa covered with aluminum, not long ago. -- Jim in NC
