By definition a solid core door is just that. The reason the surplus
outlets were suggested is that there you are likely to find the doors that
are solid wood as well as those employing an MDF (or similar) solid core
and most reasonable prices. Indeed, you are likely to find wood core and
MDF core doors priced about the same in many surplus stores.


There is, of course the problem of the veneer. Pound on it a few times, and
splinter city.

What do you have against two pieces of MDF tacked together?

If you use a door, use some tempered masonite for a disposable top. Shellac
it well to shed glue drips.
