Not to poo poo on this but my thoughts think of ring and weight. Will they create some sort of ring or will the extra weight compromise the integrity of the cabinet?
On the finish. I've seen our painters at work use a special tool on metal doors and frames to make them look like wood, grain and all. Very hard to tell its metal after their done. -
Added directly to the top and bottom MDF plates will add more mass and rigidity.... and better looks... Win Win

I doubt these will be for sale down the road, the material is pricey, add labor, and the cost to ship them, it will get quite expensive...
Have to give Brian a big thanks for wanting to machine these for me, he has learned a lot working at the shop, and is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet... -
No problemo, it's my pleasure. You've spiked my interest, I may end up doing this to my 2Bs some time in the near future.
