Foggy Bottom Edge Glued Oak Panel 3-Pack vs White Oak Wood Panel 3/4"

Both are 3/4-inch edge-glued hardwood panels sold in three-packs, so the choice comes down to species and finish. The Foggy Bottom panels are listed as basswood and arrive finely sanded on both sides, which suits laser engraving, carving and painted signs. The white oak panels are harder and heavier, take stain and oil well, and hold up better as shelves or small furniture. Owners of the oak panels praise the wood quality and shipping protection but say packaging could be better.

• Choose the Foggy Bottom basswood panel if you need a soft, light, already-sanded board for laser engraving, carving or painted craft work.
• Choose the white oak panel if you want a dense hardwood for shelves, tabletops or furniture that will take stain and hard use.
