Thank you all for the comments regarding the substrate for my project. I have decided to use the combination of 1/2" Baltic Birch sandwiched between 1/4" MDF to achieve my 1" top. My reasoning is two-fold:
First, I am cheap enough that I am trying to utilize materials that I will also be using in other parts of the project, namely the 1/2" BB (main shelf) and the 1/4" MDF (some veneered panels).
Secondly, I have reached the age (75) that man-handling sheets of plywood is a struggle; yes, even 1/2" and 1/4". You may have noticed in my initial query, that I was using 3/4" BB. After Darryl's suggestion I was quite happy to downsize to 1/2".
Again, thank you.
