Just curious. What makes you say ply rather than real full-thickness
wood. Looking at the rough edges (around the sink cutout), it doesn't
"look" like plywood (or at least like any modern version of plywood).


2. Here is the backside of one of the doors (I'm not sure if it is
the same wood as the top)

No. Luaun (sometimes known as "Philippine mahogany" altho it's not
related to the real mahoganies)

OK. I have heard of Luan plywood, but this again looks like solid wood
and not plywood - is that possible?

I agree re Philippine mahogany and you are *very* unlikely to have solid
wood rather than ply unless you live in Hawaii...solid Philippine mahogany
is (was) common there.
