[QUOTE="CheЯRyMan, post: 8340062, member: 662580"] Yes they use a garbage white wood for the plys and lay on a birch, oak or maple veneer for the outer ply. When you sand the outer layer you go through the veneer very quickly to the filler wood and looks like a burn mark. Stay away from high number of plys to thickness ratio because the thin nature of each ply will peel more easily at the edges. Fewer ply means thicker layered plys. Most people carpet or stain it so the burn mark blends in or is covered up. Its generally 15-20.00 more than mdf. When cutting you have to take extra precautions with tear out even a 60 tooth blade will chip out the backside unless you tape it or use a second board to prevent tear out. Ill be using a solid hardwood for the upcoming build its sawmill 1.125 after I plane it Ill have .875" thick walls and polyuthrane will bring out the wood grain and protect from moisture. Because most sawmill lumber is about 6 inches wide the time it takes to prepare the edges for joinery (peg, glue, clamping and resanding) make hardwood an expensive option. Ill be doing a hybrid combo to keep the cost reasonable. [/QUOTE]
