Is there a formula for the strength of plywood vs. regular wood??  I have
to replace a side rail of my waterbed.  The current wood beam is 1.5"
wide and 9" tall at 8' long.  Since I have to replace one, I figured I
might as well replace the whole box as it is over 15 years old.  I
figured that if I use plywood I can build a lighter box with the same
strength as the current one, but can I and what size boards will I need?
