want to keep it thin and light and cheap so ply is the answer but
what are the options for the edges

no edge banding or veneer as it will not hold up well enough


think that maybe some solid wood glued and screwed would be best

but maybe there are other treatments or possibilities

Screws? Dowels, maybe. Some may think biscuits are a good idea. Leon
would suggest Dominoes. Glue works, too. I glued 2" oak edges on oak
ply and it held quite well without screws. Screws in woodworking?!!!


I think he underestimates the strength of glue and punctuation. :-)
Solid wood glued to the edge of plywood is as strong as a period at the
end of a sentence.
It's easier to do that using the shift bar on a keyboard.
