Kind of fun, although far too many choices of materials to choose from.
20 species of pine, 17 species of oak, etc.

Does anybody know if Home Depot Melamine panels are made from M1, M2 or M3 particle board? The Sagulator wants to know. ;-)

Lowes says theirs is industrial grade and that seems to be M2 or M3
Boise Cascade says their industrial grade is 45# density. Not much else
