Looks real good so far.
I assume you're not planning to use T-molding, since you didn't cut slots for it?? If not, how do you plan to finish off the edges?
Also, if you are by some chance still planning to use T-molding, you would have been better served to round off your angles a bit (not to mention it looks nicer, IMO). Getting T-molding to fit nicely around those sharp angles is pretty difficult.
I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Lookin good,
Gamester's right though, you've practically built the shell. Gonna be one heck of a attempt to cut those slots at this point, unless I guess you lay the whole thing on it's side, route, then flip it over.
Rounded corners are the way to go for ease of installation, your gonna end up having to cut notches out for each of those sharp corners to get the T-molding to conform correctly. It is possible but a pain to get it just right without warping the teeth in the T-molding or creating wavy gaps on your edges. Rounded corners just pop in......
For a first cab you work is very nice......Hope to see more.........

Nice job so far, can't wait to see it finished. Another alternative is iron on pre-glued veneer edging, that is what I used for my bar top because my friend didn't have the bit to route the slots for the curved areas.
