1. How does one know if ply wood is void free
2. the only solid wood i have found here is teak (various grades of teak with Burma Teak being the most expensive)
3. I have had expansion problems with Solid wood too. I have seen my doors and window frames jam and they were made out of Burma teak in 1961 so they are atleast that old.
4. funny thing. in India ply wood is cheaper than MDF. I guess it is becuase ply is most prefered and MDF is hardly used. I can get marine grade plywood (still dont know if it is void free - the retailers here dont know either) cheaper than MDF.
5. Some of you know I am trying to work on a cabinet that resembles the Sonus Faber Amati / Wilson Benesch Act 2 in shape. If ply wood easier to bend? If that is so maybe I should try ply.
cheers
