Step 4Top
Find and cut a piece for the top. Try to make it from the same type of wood so that it will match nicely. I had some leftover from my original piece and used that. As with the bottom I made sure to square up all sides.
The top piece I used was the same thickness as the bottom. To me it looked odd as a top. I tried to find a thinner piece of cherry but to no avail. To help make it seem thinner I took a 1/8 inch round router bit and went along the outside of the top. This give it a shorter appearance and adds to the overall look.
Sand any rough edges and the inside routed parts.
