If you are going MDF, you can get sheets with precut patterns in them.

I've looked really closely at my folks and I'm pretty sure they are one piece on the front.
But as it was done part of a renovation I'd guess it was cnc as part of a batch.

Solid oak might warp with all that heat applied to one side. Oak veneer is fine as long as you can edge it in a way that pleases you.

Radiator covers. I want to make one as my radiator is larger than all the ready made ones. I'm planning on using 18mm mdf for the main body, and then either a solid oak or oak veneered mdf for the top.
For the main body, is there any reason I shouldn't make it out of one piece of mdf, cutting out the squares, rather than piece by piece and joining them together? All the ones I've seen are joined with biscuits and glue but just seems like a lot of extra effort?
