RE: sorry im new

When you say 'this plywood' are you thinking of the stuff CLC makes their kits from?

Any plywood will splinter if your tools aren't sharp and you don't take care to support the back side when cutting scarf joints. The thinner the plywood, the greater the care needed and sturdier the support necessary.

Marine ply is vastly better than anything else called plywood, an exception being high-quality Baltic birch veneer ply.

If you practice first with some waste material of the same kind as you want to use for your project you'll learn how it behaves when you use what tools and methodology you have available.
