I worked on the hutch top today. Very little of it is glued since the back will be stained and the rest painted, so it's being held together with magnets in my gluing jig. Here's an approximation of what it will look like with lower portion.
I've cut the veneer inserts for the faux drawers as well. The pegs on the upper trim are model ship belaying pins. Just a quick drilled pilot hole and some glue, and there you have it! I ended up with 1 1/4" spaces between my shelves to accommodate what the hutch will eventually hold. I'll cut sides for the crown molding on top after it is all painted, stained and assembled. Things have a way of shifting during the building process and I find it's best to fit that final trim at the end. I still need to add the notched details on the shelves, but I'm taking a break from the project for now. I can fiddle with these things only so long.
