Cabinet making - best sheet material
Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2008 11:49 am
Hi
I'm making a kitchen island so obviously the carcass will be exposed, does anyone have any suggestions as to the best/nicest sheet material for the job?
I would like to just oil the wood or leave it pretty much untreated so I was going to perhaps use one sided oak veneered ply.
Is there any solid wood sheet material that would be up to the job though? I was thinking around 18mm thick (but I can only find veneered ply up to 12mm) so that I can comfortably use connecting screws.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks.
