RyanGi - Thanks Ryan. Appreciate the kind words. The decorative splines on either side of the pulls are actually inlaid into the drawer fronts about an 1/8 inch. The recesses were pretty easy to cut with a router. Each spline is then custom fit into it's respective groove. I have to give the wife credit for the southwestern look of the splines. The configuration was her idea. Smart girl. Thanks for the question...
