I'm sure someone cares...

[jjrock7H]

gay shipping? Is that in the terms of happily building ships, or gladly shipping items around using select services built to do that?

[psvitafanboy222]

I know someone who is a Bastion main. Should I still accept him as a human being?

All that wood, y'know?

No. No I don't.

[jjrock7H]

4218109 All OF THE HOMO.

[IkioStar]

4218208 It's hard, veiny, and comes in different species. It's wood; Maple, Oak, and Cedar. It's wood; Poplar, Bass, and Pine.

It's all in cabinets, my friend.

(And for those willing to pay the extra price? Zebrawood, Purpleheart, and Bloodwood.)

4218217 What's the best wood out there?

4218252 Depends on what you want or need. Something easily workable, and cheap, and you'll probably go with something local. In my case that happens to be poplar, which can have some eccentrically figured wood grain.

In terms of straight appearance, that depends on who's looking. I tend to like purpleheart, but it's a pain to work with. Super dense material there. About as dense or more so than maple.

If you want something super sturdy? Oak. Classic oak full wood construction. Cabinetmakers don't tend to do that too often anymore, so it'll cost you a pretty penny, and if you live in more rainy environments, then it may not be the best thing for you.

[Shocks]

4218488 Well, I definitely know I'm not too picky with my wood. I for sure want a strong wood, a wood that is going to last on me. I don't need anything fancy, just something that can get the job done.

I don't want this wood to give out on me right away. I want to be happy with this wood for a long time.

4218716 In progressive price order:

If you live in the United States, your cheapest bet is probably pine or poplar. Neither of these is particularly 'strong' for a given definition, but they're standard, and they work. Poplar can be stained in such a way that aside form it's density and overall resistance to wear, that it is virtually indistinguishable from mahogany to the untrained eye.

Oak is next, but it's main difference is that it's a hardwood. It's generally a bit denser, but because of it having so many pores, it's prone to water damage.

Next, still going off you living in the States, is cedar or maple. Both are extremely good, especially for their prices, which range from around $10 per board foot or higher. But depending on where you live, that price can change dramatically, up to a two dollar difference or more. Both also tend to be heavily figured in such a way that stain tends to detract from the overall appearance.

For what you want, unless the cabinet is going to receive a lot of wear and tear, or you just like the appearance of other wood grain, you can just go with standard materials and stain what's going to be mostly visible.

[Shocks]

4218783 I'm more concerned about overall weight load and how water damage can affect it.

I know there are some woods out there that tend to fold like tissue paper if they get a little wet and they are holding up a heavy weight.

[IkioStar]

4218960 Well, that's both thickness of the particular wood you're using, and your finishing materials. Generally, that's one of the main reasons why makers generally apply sanding sealer in the first place.

But if you want a sturdy, naturally water resistant wood, that's not too expensive, while still considering weight load... Well, maple's probably your best mid-range buddy. It's still expensive, but of the cheapest woods, poplar's your man. And if you consider reinforcing your carcass with a dado cut, anything less than 40" wide give up to a 400lb load on that shelf alone, if you make the rest of the carcass right. Additionally, if you're not worried about adjustability of your shelving arrangement, it'll carry more.
