Three-quarter inch makes a drawer rather heavy. If you have heavy
duty slides it won't make a lot of difference. I have used 1/2"
cabinet-grade ply and applied solid-hardwood edging, ply is not cheap,
but available at the BORG.

What's wrong with 1/2" Baltic birch plywood? Stable, attractive, strong, no
voids. Makes great drawer sides.

I have some 4/4 Red Maple that you could resaw down to 5/8 or 1/2. It's
been stickered and air dried in a shed for a year now.

My local Lowe's carries oak, poplar and I believe maple as well in 1/2"
stock, 3-1/2" wide, 5-1/2" wide and possibly 7-1/2" wide.
