Building drawers out of baltic birch plywood for a shop cabinet. The
plywood has one nice side and one not so nice - the latter having footballs
and strange grain, etc... Question: Where do I put the best side of the
plywood - on the inside or the outside of the drawers? There will be a
separate drawer front, if that matters.

I tend to put the nice side of my drawers inside. I chaffs less and you get
less splinters in your bum!
If you are covering the outside w/ a front - the put the good side in.

If there will be a separate drawer front, then you put the bad side to the
outside where it will be covered by the drawer front.

How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?
Good question. I'm curious to hear if there is a standard.
It seems to me you'd want the best side on the inside. Pictures you see are
almost always photographed from the side and therefore you see the outside
of the drawer, however, in real use the person is going to be standing in
front of the drawer and will seldom see the outside, but will always see the
inside. Therefore, it makes sense to me that the inside should be the best
side.
