Yeah, okay. But veneer construction has a property that solid wood
construction doesn't: you don't need to worry that the veneer and its
substrate will differentially expand and contract, breaking the
piece of furniture.


When one is gluing one 5/8" thick board to another 3/4 thick board of a
different species and cut differently (QS vs. flatsawn), you
really do need to worry about this.

Might be a good idea to redesign the entire case, actually.
