What wood you do?

With the project running a week or so behind schedule we got a visit from the joiner with a question about the shelves. We had opted for solid tulip wood for these and he was concerned that, as a natural material, it might be prone to warping as it matures. His recommendation was birch ply, and he brought samples of both to the house.

We considered the choice but have decided to stick with the solid wood. The thicker shelves just look better, and we don't mind a bit of wobbliness as long as they stay intact. So that was settled.

Today we learned that this coming Thursday is our installation date. The final items are being removed from the room ahead of the big day.
