Pine shelves are good, and I've also heard about poplar as well. You need to make sure it's kiln dried wood.

I know aspen bedding is safe....but I'm not sure about aspen as a shelving wood. Someone else would have to comment on that.

Cedar bedding is not safe, so I wouldn't use it for shelving.

KD (for kiln-dried) pine is probably the easiest to get.

Kiln dried and untreated pine or poplar. In the Housing and Supplies thread there is a DIY section where it will tell you everything you need and how to make them. Good luck and can't wait to see pictures of your chin!

I was wondering seeing this post is Grape wood safe? I know Grape vine is but is grape wood the same thing?
