Last time im ended my post with cabinet doors. I decided to use flat panels since I think they suit better. I only routed small radius with an edge on both outer and inner perimeter. But I did something different for outer edge - I ran the doors through verticaly instead of horizontaly, so the edge made by router bit is on the edge of the doors and not on the face as usual. The reason for this is because I plan to place the door a little bit proud of the front face of the cabinet. I played a little bit with scrap wood and came to this solution which gives it a very nice look.
Next I wanted to decorate corner posts with some flutes. I don't have any router bit suitable for this operation, so I made a scratch stock from old hand saw blade. It makes flutes 8mm wide, I placed three of them on front face of the posts.
I glued up the carcass, in two steps. Both sides separately and then the whole carcass. Then I applied decorative moulding made on my router table. I glued the moulding and secured with brad nails.
Top board is glued and rough sanded. I played a little bit with scraps to find the edge profile which will suit it the best, but from all variants I like simple roundover the best. Next picture shows it right from the router, before sanding. (my cheap router bit isn't very good, it leaves some ridges I have to sand of)
And finally a picture of what I have so far. I still have to make the drawer (there is only a drawer front on the picture). And I have to turn small feet.
