Builiding a shelf? Check out the Sagulator!

Kind of fun, although far too many choices of materials to choose from.
20 species of pine, 17 species of oak, etc.

Does anybody know if Home Depot Melamine panels are made from M1, M2 or M3 particle board? The Sagulator wants to know. ;-)

"Hardwood" doesn't describe a wood's physical properties, rather a
comment on the tree's sexual orientation. ;-)

Softwood ~ conifer. Hardwood /= Softwood.

I was going there with my previous post but hit the wrong key and sent
it instead. ;-)
