Making a prototype now (out of low quality pine I got at HD).
Right now I am planning the upper and middle rail for 4" and the
lower for 6". That is why I am doing the prototype. I may go for
4 rails. I will put in 4 hinges so it won't rack too much.

That stuff is actually pretty darn good and not tough to get good
pieces. As with any wood look at each piece, but it typically is as
good as you get.


Yeah, it can be a time saver. Expensive but can get you out of a bind
if you're in a hurry.
The Lowes near me used to carry a gorgeous selection of Douglas Fir.
Talk about straight grain! Man, I miss that stuff.
