This could make a great plenum board! It is cheap, waterproof, and mills nice.

NewWood panels are now available in 4' x 8' sheets and are 7/16" thick. The introductory price per sheet is $35.

Justin & Brady,

Thanks for bring NewWood to my attention. Their manufacturing plant is only about a hour from me.

I sent them an e-mail with a ton of questions and they were nice enough to send me 8 PDF files of specifications, applications, preparations for painting, FAQ's, and 4 others. I have zipped the 8 PDF files and put them in my Dropbox.com account. The link to the PDF files is http://db.tt/njcX88vF.

As a side note, you can download any type of file on this site and they give you 2 GB for FREE.

I think this material will work very well for exterior signs in the Northwest, where it has a been known to rain once in a while. Looking at the properties, I think this may be a very good, inexpensive, option for a spoilboard.
I spoke with Steven, and he is sending me a sample of the material. I should have it in the next few days. Since this is a national/international forum he suggested that any additional questions or contact be directed to the e-mail address: info@newwood.com. Their telephone number is 360-482-0888.

I look forward to everyone's feedback after looking over the PDF files.
