w7_lee 11 Report post Posted February 23, 2015 What is the SI units of 4/4 (or 8/4)? It should be in inches (I think) but does not make sense to me cos inches normally uses 8 as the denominator. In any case, if you are not looking for a specific timber, just go to a furniture making shop and ask if they want to sell to you. Normal plywood furniture are (eg: kitchen cabinets & wardrobe) are reinforce with timber, so they will have solid timber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

w7_lee 11 Report post Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks for the enlightenment. So he was not talking about thickness but the cross section dimension. I worked in carpentry for a couple of years (when I was younger) and thought all those years wasted since I could not interpret his requirement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
