So here i am being a cheap skate and instead of purchasing a $350 4x5 reducing back for my 8x10 tachihara, i decide to build one. Why? cause it will cost me only $50 the most and it will work perfectly fine and be even lighter than the $350 one.
I may have to agree that the factory version will look heck of a lot better but if you are somewhat skilled , you can make yours look decent too.

So headed out to Home depot and got myself some big sheets of 1/4" plywood.. I picked the flattest...

Usually plywood will take an even stain if it is first sealed. Sealer are found in the paint dept. near the stains.
