It was a few years ago now but it was a lot. I think 4oz under and then 6oz on the bottom and 2 x 6oz on the decks. Water got inside the walnut one and it turned blotchy. I have got water in my 1/8" balsa skinned boards and had no problems.
I've had no joy getting veneer thicker than .6mm and thats not a sandwich skin...it needs to be put on top of Balsa. That gets arduous.
Danny Hesse's skins are poplar bending ply apparrently...I love the look of those.

Re: [mook] Show your wood....
I have built a couple of boards with just veneer over EPS. They end up being heavy and much less durable than the balsa skinned ones.
Re: [marke] Show your wood....
Hey marke
That board looks so nice , love the dark veneer stripe . What was your glassing schedule when using the veneers over eps ?
Cheers
