Walls will be glued up panels of solid cherry. A heavy 5/8 thick. Box will be 17 “ tall. I’ll put 5or6 dowels in each end. how about a dado in each post to seat the wall panel in ? Should help stiffen things up and give a little more gluing surface ?

Hello all , first timer here. I want to make a toy box with 2x2 “posts” on each corner and the front/sides/back doweled into the posts. Will this be OK ? Using reclaimed cherry moulding. Thinking of leaving the “posts” a little taller than the walls so the lid floats some. thx, mike
