It would help if you describe exactly what you will be doing, even a quick drawing would help, as your question is fairly general. Try to include what wood specie you want, what you'll be using...plywood/solid wood, or both, and where on the piece they will be used if you know. You said using veneer in some spots. If you could explain that.

ok i will be making a desk. for the top i am using 3/4 inch sanded plywood that i will be putting cherry veneer on. i am making a cabinet underneath on one end and a ledger board to hold the other side up. the sides will be veneered on one side and have a face frame in the front and a connecting piece in the back. and then it will have two false frame fronts.
