So I’m in the middle of building a bed. The headboard is frame and panel. The rails are a little less than 1 1/2” thick, and I’d orignally planned on using some 3/4” plywood for the panels… But now that I’m to that point, it almost seems like 3/4 is a bit too thick… So my question is, with frame and panel construction, how much wood thickness do you need on each side of the groove for optimum strength… and also, would half inch ply be strong enough? The panels are around 20” x 20”? If so, I’ll just go with some half inch ply and save some money… |
