I like to use the 1/4 inch plywood because I use the 1/4 inch rabbit bits in the router and shaper. If the plywood is a little tight I can either drop the rabbit bit a little and do a second pass or put my spline strips through the thickness planer, which is the usual remedy because it is quicker. Splines are much quicker than doweling and because they cover a larger area stronger as well. A person quickly learns to make two or more shallow passes when cutting the grooves to prevent splintering and chattering of the cutter.

I usually use luan door skin but when you use exotic woods of different colors it makes for a good looking joint when exposed. I like door skin because it matches the kerf width of the saw blade. I keep door skin around just for that.
