The whole fish tank stand starts with bords in the rough like this. Then all of the wood is milled to the correct width and thickness.
The actual black case is made out of 100% steel with welded joints to support this several hundred lbs fish tank stand. All in all, it ended up weighing a few thousand lbs.

This entire fish tank stand was constructed using 100% solid Walnut. No particle board, plywood, etc. The door panels are all 100% solid Walnut as well.
I applied a high end 2K urethane top coat in order top protect the wood from the salt.
