Need to build a new frame (current one is ugly, and she wants a nice pretty wood top). Since she wants it stained, I'm going to be using 1x birch and joining two pieces together (the width needs to be 16", which annoying means I can't use 1x8s for it).
I'll end up with a nice pretty end grain and think I've decided I'm going to dowel, glue, and Keegan join the top.
I'm pretty excited about it despite the challenges of pulling it off without a full-fledged wood shop.
What I'd give for a biscuit joiner...

I have now glued up 46 cedar chest panels using this fairly cheap system. Seems to work fine.
