Hi Brian,

You got this.  It might get fiddly and lead you to some small amount of
suffering and frustration, but you can for sure do this!

Here are some pix for inspiration.
This is the box my wife uses for her costume jewelry.
It is a far greater treasure than the contents, as it was made by her
grandfather (a Danish cabinetmaker). The bow front is especially
nice, as are the escutcheons and stringing. The drawer bottoms
and simply glued on, and are plywood for stability.  The bottom
protrudes out the back and is trimmed so that it makes the drawer
fit perfectly.  I thought that was cool.  And note the lack of knobs,
you use the key to pull the drawers open, also cool.

I hope you gain some inspiration and confidence from our efforts.
Now we want to see what kind of cool wood you found in the stash!
