I am making shop draws 26 extension full slides about 30" wide.

I am a bit new to furniture. I did mostly Decks, kitchens and baths in my former life.

I saw Norm A use 1/2 ply to create dove tail draws, so I went out to find 1/2 ply to work with and of course it splintered like mad when I tried to dove tail it <laugh>. I understand why, my question is what type of plywood am I looking for? Any suggestions on naming conventions and other inexpensive woods for draws would be great.
