Anybody know much about "Combi core" plywood?

Friend gave me some and I'm not sure how to use it. I had some plans but since this stuff has MDF surfaces it's not suitable for any kind of exposure to moisture.

What I've got is 3/4" thick, five-layer (Three thick, two thin) veneer core with MDF outer layers, thin, printed vinyl on one face and the other face is "paint ready."

I'm building some shelves for a community center and I assume it will work well for that application but I won't be using it in an unheated storage shed as planned.


How would it work for building speaker boxes???

One eye v. an eye and a half

Due to a detached retina (not woodworking related) I now have 20/20 vision in one eye and 20/150 in the other. As a result I have greatly curtailed my woodworking over the last 2-1/2 yrs. As hard as my brain tries, these two images prove difficult to combine.Look at it this way: If one eyeis a cherry pie and the other is a cow pie, mixing them together doesn't make the cow pie better. It just makes the cherry pie worse. I am considering using a patch over the bad eye but that sacrifices depth presception. If any woodworkers outthere have wrestled with this problem and have any advice I would appreciate it.
