Which wood would a woodchuck MAME?

hyiu:
whole cab including cp...
3/4 in brich plywood
bioart:
I used 5/8 particle board on most of it.  Next one will be MDF (probably).  I do like PB, but if you hit it too hard it will shatter easily :)
NoOne=NBA=:
3/4" plywood for the back part, and 1X poplar for the CP modules.
I used solid wood for the CP part because I have a rounded front edge.
Plywood doesn't work as well in that application.

I'm using 3/4" plywood.  I would have prefered to use 3/4" MDF but I can't find it at either Lowes or Home Depot around here.  MDF is generally cheaper when compared to a plywood that will give you a similarly smooth surface.
Lilwolf:
if you go 3/4" MDF, your will save money on your T-molding (if you go that route).  All other sized are 'special'

I dont think plywood is as easy to cut the slot for the T-molding as MDF, but you get a LOT less sawdust.

MDF is strong enough.  So you don't have to worry about that.

I went MDF and am happy with it.  I didn't paint, (vynal) and I didn't have to sand before applying.  If you go with a lexan top, I don't think it will matter at all.  You might want to get the better grade plywood if you are going to put artwork between the lexan and CP.
