What type of wood should I use when building a built in entertainment center? |
I'm looking for a wood that won't sag over time or be extremely heavy. I was told to stay away from partical board (will sag) and plywood (way to heavy). I want to stain the wood, not paint it white or anything like that so I need a wood that looks nice also. I was told to use a solid hardwood but I can't seem to find 'sheets' of wood wide enough to build an entertainment system. Any info (along with websites that sell the stuff) would be appreciated. If you want to do this project. Why don't you look the information on the web site yourself? I would use HDF (HIGH DENSITY FIBERBOARD) then veneer over that with a natural veneer.That is the way a lot of high-end furniture is made-sold.HDF is far superior to particle board. I used to build solid wood furniture using oak plywood for the large pieces and oak boards for the smaller stuff. Plywood comes in 3/4" thick for structural (sides or shelves) and 1/4" for the back. To stiffen the plywood shelves and to hide the plys, edge band with a piece of 1x2. |
