Now I understand...I'd been thinking that was kind of a small cabinet to be displaying Christian Becksvoort in, since he's a tall guy.

Christian Becksvoort is indeed a very tall guy: literally and figuratively. I take credit only for my efforts: I give credit freely to someone who has inspired so many woodworkers to create beautiful furniture!

I was curious if you over cut the tails in the top to use as tenons for the side long grain edge? Or attach another way?
Beautiful piece.

If I understand the question, the top to side joint is just a through dovetail joint. The trim attachment is a dovetailed key, as shown here:

That answers that. Thank you.
