DIY lumber source
I once built a shelving unit out of maple veneered laminated 3/4" plywood. It was 42" wide, 19" deep. Single sheet shelves only. The resonance was brutal. This time around I was simply going to double up the same shelves but use construction adhesive to sandwich the shelves together for a total of 1.5" thick.
** My preference is to find solid 1.5" shelving, maple etc** I have even seen butcher block shelves. I have combed the big box stores, and nothing beside 4x8 sheets of you name it. Where would I go to find solid thick basic lumber shelving?

Greg.......You will have to seek out hardwood suppliers. Take a look at woodworkerssource.com as a starting point.

Greg.......The few times I have purchased hardwood, I had to locate the specific hardwood dealers. Most lumber yards only deal in construction type lumber. Call a few custom cabinet makers and ask where they buy their hardwood.

Hey thx fellas, as a cheaper alternate I just finished using a double wide maple veneered plywood 3 shelver I built, doubled up the 3/4" shelves and it was dead quite too, huge success. I am going back to a single tall config to get the tt a little higher etc. This time 1"1/4 bolt/rods, and triple thick 3/4" shelves. This will be a very solid, very heavy and a dead quiet solution. The finish I need to work on...

Veneered or stained void free, 13 ply, 18mm Baltic Birch would be a better choice. Laminate 2 sheets or more together and you'll have something very solid. For small and medium sheets I usually buy from Rockler.com.

I noticed you are in Toronto.
For hardwood (you may need to do your own fabrication) try Peacock Lumber in Oshawa peacocklumber.ca PEACOCK LUMBER Last edited by jdandy; 02-24-2013 at 12:05 PM. Reason: active link to non-sponor against forum rules. |
