Hello all,

I've got a plan to build some tall bookcases (double-door cupboard at
the bottom - 4 shelves on top) and I've drawn myself a plan, and made
all the measurements, planned all the joints and bought all the tools -
all I need to do know is get hold of some suitable material for making
it out of. I even bought a couple of furniture building books to help
me along the way.

Can anyone recommend what sort of wood I should use? I plan to paint it
all white, so aren't really concerned with the grain or stain.

Also - if I approach a timber merchant - will they but the wood up into
the right sizes for me? Or even just sizes that I can fit into my car?

Look foward to any advice proferred...

Many thanks,
Neil.
