Richlite makes three products:
Solid Richlite, in thicknesses from 1/8th inch to beyond 1 inch (by extremely expensive custom order);
Richlite Stratum Birch, .5-inch Baltic Birch plywood, clad with front and rear 1/8th inch Richlite skins; Total .75 inch. and
Richlite Stratum Bamboo, .75-inch furniture-grade vertical bamboo fillets, clad with front and rear 1/8th inch Richlite skins. Total 1.0 inch.
Image of a Stratum Bamboo front panel blank above.
You have the option of using a super-deluxe RL product for the front panel, one step down for the shell, and the bargain level for the rear panel.
Keeping in mind that the composite products are less dense/heavy than the equivalent solid RL. But then, the composite products offer Constrained Layer Damping.
My latest prototype is Richlite Stratum Bamboo 1.0-inch front panel; .5 inch solid Richlite carcass or 4-sided cabinet shell; and .5-inch RL rear panel.
Live and learn,
john
