    so after looking into prices I'm going with using 70x25mm non structural pine which I'll glue up into boards for the tool chest and thickness down to 25mm. The reason I'm going for solid timber is that this tool chest is really a practice exercise in dovetailing and basic joinery for me and plywood doesn't really allow for that very well.

    Now while this timber is full of knots and holes taking into account the waste factor I believe I can get all the lengths I need out of it free of knots and still come in under $100 for all the wood.

    Thanks for the help everyone.

    Just to reoPen this thread briefly. I was wandering through mitre ten and they had some 'case pine 200 x25' which measured out at 223 x 28 in actual thickness. Now this stuff is 3.99 per meter rough sawn. Given this is nearly exactly what I have been looking for does the price sound ok?? It's not clear stock as there are a reasonable number of large knots in the 5m planks
