Hi Folks,

I'll be building some storage cabinets soon and really like shaker Style. Would I have any issue with warping if I used good quality 18mm or thicker plywood for the stiles and rails?. The panel thickness will be 7mm.

As always, many thanks for all your replies and have a great Xmas/New year everyone.

How are you going to deal with the hungry ply edges when finishing them? MDF is much less work
