So I built two vanities for my bathroom. Carcasses, and all drawer boxes are in place and look good.
I need drawer fronts, so I figured I'd just use something cheap and solid from the big box stores as they'll be panted anyway. I left the two pieces of flatsawn poplar in the driveway on a humid day and they cupped substantially. Which made me think they'll be ~terrible for the job I'm using them for, given, you know, moisture in bathrooms.
I am thinking about getting a few pieces of straight doug fir; seems that there are some pretty good, pretty reasonably priced quartersawn options there. I think that'll likely give me far more stability.
Am I thinking about this right? Are there other options I should be considering, or other considerations I'm not even thinking about?
