Made from 3/4-inch popular, trim from Lowe’s, and bead board back from Home Depot. A shaker raised Panel Cabinetmaker Router Bit Set (#8837) from www.mlcswoodworking.com was used to make the side panels. A 1/2-inch cove bit was used to add detail to the corners.

I branded this piece with a laser etched logo….
