I sanded down some pine veneers from 3mm to 1.8mm then glued 5 veneers together. These I placed on a former I'd made from MDF and stuck them in a vacuum bag.
I ended up with three pieces, two for the doors and one piece for the drawers. I skinned them with 4mm of sheoak on either side, this gave me 20mm thick doors. The veneers inside the doors/drawers gave me the extra strength I needed when I carved the outside, I de-stress the outside so that moves.
The doors have not moved since carving
