I found this
Izdawiz:
So I went to go clean up my old childhood home my parents had rented out for some time now. And in the garage was what appeared to be a large crate. The dude that was living there was told me he was going to build a closet to put his tools and junk. But he got a better gig and had to move. He was starting to dismantel it and was going to throw away the wood. There are 6 11x4 15/32 S Rated Sheath. 3-ply and like 10 9' 2x4's. I was wondering if i could use this to build a cabinet. There is one problem! Two of the sheets were outside for a while in the rain, but look ok. Can some one help.

I had a nearly simalar expierience...
Someone was throwing away a drafting table and I took it for 1" thick hardwood. This is now the top of my cocktail cab ;D
Izdawiz:
Really? So you did you use it. Do you think the wood I have can be used for a full upright ?
:o

That wood is a bit on the thin side. Most cabinets use either 9/16" or 3/4" wood. But if you built an inner frame with the 2x4s it should come out plenty strong.
Izdawiz:
Yes of course an inerframe!!! That sounds like a good idea. Cuz the wood is awfully thin. I wasnt sure if I could use it, and it would of been a waste to throw it away. I have a guide from www.cybertechdesign.net but no framing guide can some one send a good link? ;D
