So, would it be fair in saying any wood might be okay as long as it's very, very dense.
I hear maple has a density of around 740 kg/m3. While my cabinet maker suggested a wood called Merbau (Instia Bijunga), which is a New Guinea/North Queensland Hardwood.
Merbau apparantly has density of 830 kg/m3 and is reddish/brown in colour. He says it solid and dead accoustically (perfect for a Rack Frame ?).
Btw, I'm planning on using Soapstone for all the shelving.
