In the end I used finger, or box, joints cut with my dado set on the
table saw. While it worked well I still had some de-lamination on
assembly. I had to adjust the joint making it less tight.


With applied front, this is the way to go, IMO. Use of a nice spiral bit
and a router jig will give clean cuts.

You have compared prices of this stuff with other good secondary solid woods
in your area? I can get basswood for a song, so that's my preference.
