Are you planning to edge band the unfinished plywood edges? I imagine it could be a design choice to keep it as is, but if you want to give the custom wood work a bit more of a finished look edgebanding is super easy and cheap. You’d only need to buy the banding and use an iron and razor blade.

We like the look of the raw plywood edge, it was definitely a stylistic choice! I did hand sand and apply a finish to all the exposed edges as well.

I figured as much rather than it being an oversight given your professions! It’s an interesting choice as it seems “unfinished” to my eye, which could be just because that’s the way it is typically done. Great job on the project as a whole!

Showing off the layers in the birch is pretty common on trendy shit. I'd do it if it weren't birch but birch is tight enough it looks good imo. Edgebanding looks like lipstick on a pig.
