Where to get materials for building a set of tall bookcases
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. |
