I want to put up a shelf on a wall that is close to a wood air tight heater. The temperture difference is from 20 to 30 degrees, with a max of about 80 degrees. I was going to use solid oak, but I am worried about the expansion and contraction of the wood. Can Oak plywood be used or is Poplar better? Also should I be concerned about what type of finish I put on it?
