Normally, when I make drawers for a high end piece, I use solid wood throughout. For more utilitarian pieces, I build a box out of Baltic birch and attach a solid wood front. I use dovetail joints throughout. I’m now considering a hybrid approach where I use Baltic birch for the sides and back and solid for the front. This would mean I would have a dovetail joint between the solid wood front and BB plywood sides. I’m concerned about wood movement, however. Is this a bad idea I would come to regret? The solid wood is cherry.
