So I"m planning to build my first piece of furniture - a tall book case. It will be a very simple one, aprox 8 to 10 feet tall, 3 feet wide, rectangular. no moldings, or anything for now. a very basic one.
Questions: what type of wood do I buy, and in what thickness is reccomended? do I buy 'real' wood(If so, what kind), or particle board. It seems that a lot of stores, Target, walmart, IKEA, use particle board for these type of stuff. advantage or disadvantage to each??
I do plan to paint it to match the house if all goes well.
thanks
