I think that set up is going to look nice. That is how I build counter and table tops. I use oak 1 x ? on the sides and then run the router over it. It makes for a very nice edge especially when I run laminate topping on it.

I like the look of the cedar strips. Guess it comes from building strip kayaks :D

It always amazes me how you can take some scrap wood like this

and start turning it into something like this

and this

and all it takes is a few tools and a little time. couple more steps and I will have the cabinet doors ready to install.

After a little more work you wind up with this

A little more sanding and a couple coats of poly they will be ready to install.
Not to shabby for scrap wood.

Ron,

Man, that's lookin' really nice!

P.S. Reuse of wood is cool. In Brazil they take scrap pallet wood and build sailing craft to sail offshore to fish.
