Ditto on the 16 th inch bending ply. It’s actually A heavy 16th. However this has its limitations. Depending on how tight the radi is on these fronts you may still experience some spring back.
I would go the route of the skateboard approach. By that I mean you can buy several skateboard kits which consist of maple veneer (16th). And lay up the drawer that way. Rule of thumb with this procedure is the more plies the less spring back. These kits have 7 pieces and they have both face veneer and crossband. So the reversing of the grain has already been done for you.
I would also use urea resin glue. Never pva glue.
You can find these skate board kits at certainly wood. On the pull down menu you go to special packages . The get the 3/4 final thickness you’ll need two kits. 20.00 per kit.
Because of the process that veneer under goes you can get a much tighter radius.
