OK, finally a glimpse of the top. 13-inch-wide cherry is quite expensive, and hard to find, and this is above eye level, so I decided to have a poplar board edged with cherry. The front cherry is just glued on. For the sides, I had to put a thin strip
of walnut in the joint, because glue doesn't work well on endgrain. I did the same for part of the diagonal joint at the corner.

Cross Section:
_ = air C = cherry, W = walnut, P = poplar
__CCCCCPPPPPPP
__CCCWWWWPPP
__CCCCCPPPPPPP

The pins throuh the tongues need to be shaved down a bit, so they can go further in.
