I've done my shop cabinets both ways and all has been well for a couple of years. The part of California I'm in is not known for it's heavy weather changes.
The question stems from this; I'm getting a little better at this after slamming around for a couple years. The current cabinet I'm making may just turn out to be a long-term keeper and I'd like to do it right.
Carcase is BB ply as are the drawer bodies and false fronts. Carcase and fronts will get clear shellac 'cause I like that look in a "Shop Cabinet". What do you think, shellac the drawer bodies or leave them exposed to breath? Drawers will hold router collars, measuring sticks, feather boards, etc. for the router table.
