 |  Help with Load Ratings for Wood I realize this has zip to do with scrolling but I've had no luck in searching and asking elsewhere. I just received an order for a custom entertainment center. That's the easy part. The TV weighs 260 lbs. At one time I had a chart which listed different species of wood and the amount of weight they could handle without sagging over different spans. As this will be a black piece, I will be using oak, both for strength and ease of ebonizing it. The shelf that the TV will be sitting on will span about 4 ft (a little more than 1 meter for everyone not in the US, hehehe). I'm thinking 3/4" oak HVHC ply with a single reinforcement in the center of the span will be sufficient to hold the weight but hope to confirm this. Anyone???? Thanks.

| Kevin, I would think with that piece in the center that it would be plenty of support. How will the ends be supported? Good luck with it.

| Somewhere at home I have a fairly recent magazine that covers shelf spand loads. I will look for it tonight.

| sawdustus of hiawatha Thank you Marcel!!!! I have been using R. Bruce Hoadley's formulas from Understanding Wood to do the calculations. Quite tedious to say the least. Great site. It is now in my favorites list.

| That is a very usefull link. The article I was talking about also took into consideration any edge banding you use to either dress up the edge of plywood or to add thickness to the shelf. I looked last night and could not find it. I will look in the magazines electronic index to see if I can find it.
