The stuff with patching is a lower grade. You can buy plywood without patching at pretty much any lumber yard. In a bunch of different species. It’s AC grade."Sharon Kwilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204757096377140896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688737200861236433.post-28170492539838170542022-03-06T15:00:52.468-08:002022-03-06T15:00:52.468-08:00That was the original plan, I even bought the hard...That was the original plan, I even bought the hardware kit, but then Jeff decided he's rather move the master bedroom down there and give me the master for the long arm.Sharon Kwilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204757096377140896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688737200861236433.post-64267535508729412202022-03-06T14:55:26.085-08:002022-03-06T14:55:26.085-08:00If you put in a Murphy Bed, you can make the room ...If you put in a Murphy Bed, you can make the room multi purpose.

I can ask him more specifically if you'd like. Upstairs in the dining room, we actually replaced a couple pieces of damaged wood and we used regular flat grain lumber, the super expensive wide stuff. (At the time prices weren't so insane.) I will do a post on the staining for you.Sharon Kwilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204757096377140896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688737200861236433.post-64066307959345290402022-03-05T12:19:59.635-08:002022-03-05T12:19:59.635-08:00Thank you so much for posting about your wonderful...Thank you so much for posting about your wonderful basement remodel and everything else you share! I am very curious about your wainscoting. I want to do something very similar in our dining room in our 1910 4 Square. All the trim is mixed grain Fir. I am trying to match that in the wainscoting panels. I have looked for something like 1/4" plywood, but always find that it has been patched with the oval patches. What did you use for your panels??? I am in your debt. I would love to know more about the stain you use as well. Trying to somewhat match 100 year old stained Fir. Thanks! Congratulations. PS I live in Olympia, so could likely use some of the sources you access.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328341420584188853noreply@blogger.com
