Comparing Silver and Dark Leading-Edge Profiles
I fitted a plywood base to the timber drawer frame.
I added rubber lining to the base and sides in later stages.
My edge-finishing purchases included an angled silver aluminum strip.

My Takeaway from This Job
The built-up drawer gives context for the separate edges around a layered surface. M-D supplies a fluted silver profile, while the TMH and Wooster options change to longer dark-finish nosing formats.
Silver fluting and dark tread profiles change the leading-edge finish.

The fluted M-D edging gives a platform corner a defined metal border. Fit the finished top covering first in the layout so the edging reaches the intended front face. Mark the cut length from the actual opening and finish the ends before fastening the strip. Check the clearance of any drawer or removable panel underneath it. A short metal profile is also useful when planning a small step, where both the top leg and the drop need to sit against their receiving surfaces.
