1) sizes are personal preferance mate, depending wether its a double or triple box

2) you want to keep it nice and light so 6mm is plenty

3) cut the ply then soak it before attaching

4) keep it simple, as long as it does the job theres no need to be making it complicated

5) anything will do for the strap mate. a strap off a fishing tackle box, a car seat belt e.t.c

 

hope this helps mate

showing my age here, but if you use something like 3/8" ply on all of it, but use 1/8 ply for the bow back, it will bend easily without the need to cut lines in, or soaking
