All
I have surround design ready for a unused fireplace (no chimney left) - so heat will not be an issue. Project is to be painted.
This breaks down to a series of boxes:
- bottom (6x9 x 78),
- sides (4x6x53),
- top (4x6x72) and
- mantel - (2x8x84) above it with 3" crown molding between mantel and top
I'm thinking plywood, either 1/2 inch everywhere, or a mix of 3/4" sides and 1/4 faces.
What type of plywood would you choose and how thick? I'm in Raleigh - but not opposed to driving to THS for the right material.
Thanks
