A few useful numbers.
WOOD FOR YOUR PROJECT
What are you making?
Furniture & storage
Start with the panel construction and actual thickness. Shelf span, support and joints still need checking.
Choose the appearance of actual boards and plan how a wide solid-wood top can move with the seasons.
Compare the supplied faces, core and exposed edges. Make a complete primer-and-paint sample first.
Scroll saw projects
For our small decorative cutouts, flat, sound 6 mm plywood is suggested practice stock. Check voids, blade access and narrow features on the actual piece.
Hardwood plywood
Check the actual face and core of your chosen 6 mm practice stock.
Try a small first cut
Choose an outside-cut pattern and practise on matching scrap.
Browse free patterns ↗Outdoor projects
Investigate material for the actual exposure and component. Resolve drainage, fasteners and support before buying.
Western redcedar
Consider suitable outdoor components; check the actual stock and fasteners.
White oak
Review suitability for the complete construction and intended exposure.
Starting suggestions, not load ratings. Illustrated grain swatches match the material library; actual boards and products vary.
