I am going to Danville this week for extra 1/4 inch cherry for my cabinet doors. I would like to price plywood for future chest of drawers. What is normal thickness of side panels for chest? Would 1/4 be too thin, I think 3/4 maybe too thick. Lorraine |

Lorraine, I used frame and panel M&T construction on my bedroom furniture. I used 3/4 cherry ply on the end panels. I cut a 3/8 inch rabbet on the inside edge of the panels and used 3/8 dados in the frames to capture the edges. My rails were 3/4 thick and legs were 1.5 x 1.5 inches.

I have done both 1/2 and 3/4 thick. You could glue 2 sheets of 1/4 together to get your thickness up.
Personally, I think 1/4 is too thin. | |

Thanks guys. I had a full sheet of 3/4 inch cherry but found myself using all of it on my kitchen cabinet remodel. Glad I had it but now I guess I need another sheet. Danville Virginia is a great place for hardwoods. Lorraine | |

Lorraine Talking of cherry ply; I am going to need some 1/2" cabinet grade cherry ply for the dust panels in the bedside tables; any good place in the Raleigh and west of raleigh area

Can't help you there David. Danville, Va is about 2 1/2 hours for me but it is an easy place to get to and there isn't the traffic I would find in the Raleigh/Durham/Cary area so I opt for Danville. I could also go to a place north of Richmond, Va that is also easy to get too and is just off I95 but Danville gets my business. I maybe wrong but I figure the prices are probably about the same no matter where you go. Lorraine | |

I'm hoping to go there at the W/e to get the rest of the solid stuff.
