Material originally used was 3/4 plywood,  Not quite Baltic Birch, but 
not quite shop Ply either.....  If I were to replace mine, I would use 
3/4 Baltic or a domestic hardwood ply.  More plys is better.

Solid wood seems like a better choice, but for the chance it will warp 
and distort.

Using MDF was used on some later versions.....   I would not repeat that 
choice.....

One correction on the plans shown..... the doubled up areas are 
specified as 1 1/4 wide with the 3/4 dog holes drilled at 1 1/4 from 
edge to center.  Means the hole is placed on the edge of the under board.

Suspect the width of the under board should be increased to 2 inches.

I am not home to check the actual dimensions of my Work Mutts....
