Hello All,
I am in the planning stage for building my own kitchen cabinets and have some general questions.
- Why would you purchase 4/4 rough lumber that needs to be planned and surfaced when you can get Select & Better already surfaced for less money per board feet? I guess this could be a geographical issue. I live in East Texas and a local lumber place sales 4/4 Red oak at $4.05/bf and S&B at $2.55/bf.
- What is the difference between 4x8 VC and 4x8 BC?
- I know I want to utilize plywood rather than MDF for the cabinet carcass, but I’m not for sure if I should use Birch, Oak or Poplar. The Oak is considerably more expensive per sheet, but I’m curious if it is worth it.
Thanks for the help.
