14/03/2009 · Plywood works better for me using dado/rabbet or simple butt joinery. I generally use drawer lock joints with solid material. The other drawback with plywood is the exposed plys.
From contributor M I used to make solid wood bookcases and sell them to the public through an art fair type of thing, and did quite well. I found a large number of people that were willing to pay extra money for something that was made out of solid wood.

17/02/2010 · I’m working on plans for a bedroom dresser and chest-of-drawers. Would it be better to use plywood for the drawer sides or solid wood? I figure plywood would be less prone to warping but figured I’d get some input from you guys first.::::::::
