<DIV><SPAN class=993521520-18112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>My suggestion if you
truly want something flat that won't warp or swell it to find a local Billard
supply store and ask for a peice of chipped slate. Most places will GIVE
them away since they have to pay money to have them hauled away. You can
get a third of a full size table (roughly 30" x 48") or sometimes even a full
slab for a mini table. Both will weigh around 200#...so you'll need a
solid table to put it on... But it lasts forever, and is truer than
true.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=187300620-18112004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Ken,
what exactly is the material you are referring to? Do you feel it would be
superior to MDF? I understand the material needs to be supported to prevent
sag...I just don't want anything that'll swell with moisture if I need to leave
the sheets in the garage...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mark,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We in the "Biz" don't use MDF, medium density
fiberboard, to build cabinets, unless you want one "heavy as heck" cabinet, no
offense Dean.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Although the MDF would work fine, though very
heavy, industrial grade particle board is what would be used in cabinet
making, beneath the veneers. The material can be found at your local HD,
use the sheet that measures 49"x97".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We do use the MDF in making paint grade door
panels and such, due to its superior density.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Gents, I've seen references to using cabinet
grade particle board for making very flat building surfaces. I'm assuming
this isn't something I'll find at my local home depot. Any suggestions? (I'm
in the Chicago suburbs)</FONT></P>
