I'm building drawer boxes for our kitchen. I want to use 1/2 blind DT's front/rear. I was going to use Baltic birch ply due to it's stability but after looking around have seen it may be prone to splintering. Plus for a custom made kitchen many say to use a solid wood like maple. Now my question - I see there are several types of maple (soft/hard/white/dark/dark-light mix) what is recommended for drawers?
Thanks,
Mike
