Just a quick question and forgive me if it annoys you, how deep into
the wood should a screw go? A 1/3 of the width of the wood? 2/3s?

Thanks and many regards.

Wouldn't that depend on the thickness of the wood? Wouldn't it depend
on what is being attached? I can't think of any "one size fits all"
answer to your question.
