[QUOTE="JayDubb757, post: 7822838, member: 642218"] I didn't read all of the posts, but here's my 2 cents. Use Baltic Birch if you can afford it--real BB comes in 5'x5' sheets. I don't recommend any other Birch ply, unless it's void free. I've been working at a cabinet shop for 10+ years, we buy a lot of that $30 Birch---for box building, it s[COLOR=black]u[/COLOR]cks!! most of it is imported from China. It has voids all in it , it's susceptible to de-laminating, and it's usually bowed. Not all 13-ply is good--this Chinese sh[COLOR=black]i[/COLOR]t has 13-plys. Our B grade and A grade plywoods usually have 5-plys and they're around $90 a sheet. Used a lot of Trupan MDF as well, IMO it s[COLOR=black]u[/COLOR]cks as well---haven't built a box out of it, but built plenty of doors and cabinets out of it, and I don't like working with it. We buy Ranger board brand MDF, and I have no problems with it. A cabinet shop should be able to order any type of wood you want. [/QUOTE]
