MOTM

I've had very good success using oak for my MOTM cabinets and other 19" 
rack cabinets I've made.  The biggest thing that will keep panels from 
warping is to glue smaller widths of wood into a larger panel.  Using a 
plate jointer and biscuits is the easiest means to glue a panel up.  This 
will also wind up being less expensive than let's say, a 10" wide board.
