Heirloom furniture with plywood?

jm · 2003-08-30T22:24:50+00:00

Let me say upfront. I don't know what makes a piece of furniture valuableor an "heirloom." But I bought this months edition of Woodsmith and in itis a plan for a chest of drawers with the casing made of plywood. Therewere other items with plywood also.Doesn't "real" fancy furniture that becomes and anitque or and heirloom havea solid wood base and case? Doesn't plywood make it "cheap." Sorry if thisoffends some of you. I really just am curious if solid wood could be usedas a substitute for the plywood an give it real lasting value. But I amsure that would make it cost much more to build. How much I don't know.Thanks for commenting.
