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.
