Good morning,
I'm test cutting a pair of doors for a record cabinet which measure to be about 18 3/4" x 37 3/4" overall. I'm trying to finalize a material for this project which involves some 3D cutting so whichever material I end up using has to be furniture grade and has to look nice when the material is exposed in its inner layers. I know MDO has the strength of plywood with the paintable surface of MDF but I'm concerned about the look of exposing the inner layers. I don't think I will be able to biscuit join wood together for an overall piece because my tool paths go through the material in several spots. Would anyone happen to have a suggestion for material in this application?
Thanks,
-Patrick
