- End Grain Screw Trouble | LumberJocks Woodworking Forum
The idea is to glue a hardwood dowel in a hole perpendicular to the screw so the threads of the screw grab into the hardwood cross grain (much better hold than end grain) Obviously, you need to use a screw long enough to fully engage in the dowel And be sure to drill the proper size pilot hole so not to split either of the woods

- Which wood for making bookshelves? - LumberJocks Woodworking Forum
Especially the thin birch veneer that is used on the big box plywood Better to go oak if you plan on staining Naturally, use hardwood for face frames (oak if you go that route, or poplar if you decide on paint), and if you plan on cutting dado for the shelves, you will be best served building a dado sled, as most plywood is 'nominal sized'
- Recommendation for solid wood base to veneer for furniture
They put more expensive wood over less expensive substrate to save money and stretch how far their more expensive or exotic woods would go Almost any substrate will do, though for solid woods, some sort of inexpensive hardwood is usually better than softwoods like pine and doug fir but I have have seen pine under veneer in old pieces too
