If I had the experience,tools, and money, I would have used solid
wood. I would have loved to use walnut, but my cabinet and stand were
to be pretty wide. I didn't have the confidence or patients to glue
and clamp a bunch of boards together. The joinery would have been
beautiful though, nice molded edges, mitered corners. If I was to be
spending long hours building the stuff, why did I make it out of
cheap plywood?
Answer: cause I don't know what I'm doing... I'll have to deal with
that iron on edge banding, butt joints, and veneer tear out. Plywood
is nice for the inexperienced. It's flat, big, and if mistakes are
made, just go out and buy some more.
