Uses for doorskin?

I have 30-40 sheets of doorskin here (doorskin being super-thin plywood that bends and breaks easy).
Besides making doors... what else is it used for?

Not wanting it to go to waste, but it takes up a lot of space. Thanks.

Furniture veneer, a lot of custom and antique cars use such veneer for the dash-boards (especially if interesting grain). If it's just Luan, can be used for paneling, ceiling, shelf backs...just some thoughts.

Great for building furniture that looks solid and bulky but is nice a light. For things like colums! Framework of 1x2s in a circle, glue on the outside, then SLOWLY mold the doorskin around it. columns, table bases, .. all kinds of things are made that way.

If we were closer I'd takeit all off your hands We're building another teardrop trailer and it would be EXCELLENT for the shell.

Model builders would be very happy with it. And Model Train builders would love it. Small buildings and ramps, etc...VERY hard to find thin enough wood to build with.

The back of an open shelf unit. Would make it look better than that cruddy cardstock they send with the kits.

Like Roadking said....veneer and dashboards would be wonderful.
