To minimize the number of sheets of plywood I'm using, I will scarf my sheets together as shown here. Yielding both bottom layers from 5 sheets.

| Cut plan for sheet 5 |
The fore and aft scarf joints will be placed one to port and the other to starboard. The side to side (beam to beam) scarf joints will be on top of each other, but I will mitigate that situation by preventing the scarfs from being contiguous. If a scarf fails and begins to crack, that crack should not continue into the scarf of the other layer. My current cut plan allows for at least the 'good' alignment. Whether I'll be able to shift one layer's cut an inch or two to achieve the 'best' alignment I'll find out.
