I pulled out my scale today, and started weighing some different pieces of plywood and some cedar boards, to check for weights for use in the drawers on the passenger side.
There is a huge difference between something like a cedar board that's about 1/2" thick, and a piece of plywood that is 1/2" thick.
I don't think I'll be using cedar for the drawers, but I am building a couple of different drawer configurations to see how light I can get away with, and still maintain a sturdy drawer.
Depending on what the drawer is made of, they could collectively add up to a couple of hundred pounds. I figure, a little extra time spent finding out how light I can go, would be worth the weight savings.
I'll let you know how this shakes out.
