What wood to use for interior?
Going to be building my interior in a couple of weeks and wondered if anyone has any sugestions to the best wood to use, I'm stuck!!
Not sure of the different qualities between, marine ply, faced ply, mdf, exterior mdf, etc....

Or.....Try (if you have access to a bench saw), running lengths of pine down the blade to create a groove wide enough to accept ordinary or faced hardboard. You can make very lightweight cupboard sides and doors like that. Built my buddy seat like that and its strong and light as a feather. Weight an important consideration when constructing units - keep it simple and light as far as possible.
