Maple plywood sides and back are installed, along with the top. The
top is made by joining five maple boards. A few of the boards have a
lot of color in in them (heartwood) and I think it is going to look nice when
finished.
Drawers are assembled. At this point, I still need to work on the drawer
fronts and pulls. The pulls will be made from cherry.
I constructed the drawer using a screw reinforced
rabbet joint. I still need to plug the screws with cherry.
Finally finished! Finished with wipe-on polyurethane.
Drawer pulls are cherry and were made using the router.
Just another angle!
Showing off the grain of the top here.

pulls.

Unlike the sides which sit in a rabbet all the way around, the back panel
sits against a thin strip of molding on the left and right side and a
rabbet top and bottom.
