Originally I thought of using the compressed wood composite board and laminating both sides with normal hardwood. I thought that this would be the most sturdy (no - its' not MDF) over time and relatively cheap.

The other option is using hardwood planks and screwing everything together.

I have the power tools (Yay for university access! ).

Also, what paint would you reccomend *primer is a given*.
Instead of going through all the work to make them yourself you should hint around to the Fraternities and maybe some of the gentlemen will help you. I know you a perfectly capable of building them yourself but it never hurts to ask for help. I know my chapter has built them for 3 of the 4 sororities on campus including Zeta Tau Alpha.
