Here is a shot of the veneer that I will be using for the sides.
I have no clue what it is; it has a few bad spots in the run as
seen in the right half of the photo, so I got it for free.
Here you can get an idea what the sides will look like once completed.
The spots that are bad will be outside the size I need for these pieces.
Part 2 will be the construction of the inlay and the top and bottom.
