I’m building a floor cabinet out of cherry plywood and would like to hide the fact that it is plywood where the top meets the sides, since both will be exposed. The front edges will be covered by a face frame. I thought of miters but I’m afraid any rounding of the corners will expose the ply. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Lost,
There are a lot of ways to get this done. Here's a video that shows a few.

The video shows some good techniques for edging plywood, but stops short of showing how to trim the edging once it's on. Options for this include a hand plane and scraper to bring the edging flush to the plywood - carefully. You could also use a router/trimmer with a flush cut bit - the bearing riding on the veneer.
Glue up a couple of samples from scrap to test your trim technique in advance.
Good luck!

Typically we run some kind of crown or top molding to suit the need at hand .
