I'm trying to get back into some woodworking. Since the great flood in
August of 2019 my potential customers have been replacing damaged furniture with insurance money and I don't build to discounted values. Anyway I'm adding a printer cabinet for our office and going a different route this time. I'm going with preprimed pine boards from HD and glued up yellow pine panel blanks for shelves from the same. I have cut up all of the preprimed boards and must say that I'm impressed with the quality of the product. 1x8x8' boards were just under $17 each and 2 will do it. I will be painting the majority of it with Antique White GF Milk Paint and the shelves will be stained some shade of brown. This is my interpretation/design of a piece that I saw in a craft store. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...in/dateposted/ |

You must be one heck of an amateur meteorologist to predict a flood, and the rain causing it, 4 months in advance for Houston.

I'm not up to date on wood pricing. Is that a good price for pine? I assume its Firsts and Seconds grade. |

Aren't most of those preprimed pine boards made from fingerjointed narrower stock like most paint-grade pine moulding? |

Depending on how well it was glued, you might run into issues if you cut too close to a joint. BTDT |

FWIW I so far only see 3 pieces glued together to make up the width. But again, I am going to paint this, it being preprimed and sold this way meant that I would probably get a higher quality board. I will certainly buy it again for future painted projects. |

My wood (poplar) looked good too, although it was easier to tell since it wasn't primed. ;-) My issue was the result of ripping it to close to one of the glue joints and then routing a groove for a panel. When I inserted the panel it split along the glue joint for about 10". I put glue in the split and applied pressure with some homemade "clamps": https://i.imgur.com/6X3Q1Fw.jpg?1 |
