Bedside table

>My main question is: should I sand&finish the undersides and the sides that will never be visible? Does it make a difference to how well the wood handles time? I should probably assemble it first, only then sand and apply the finish, right?

You should always backprime the hidden surfaces to keep the wood from dry rotting from the inside out.

Where might one acquire large walnut panels like that?

I assume you're just asking generally and not where I plan to get them, but just in case I'd be fine with 250mm wide. I'm sure there's boards that size.

10" is nothing my man. You'll have a very tiny bedside table. You'd probably want 20" at least

It doesn't need to be big, I just want a place to put down a glass of water. It's going to a place like pic related.

I've been using the cardboard box of my computer case since I moved here because my old apartment had a built-in recess in the wall and I haven't been able to find the right size table in any furniture stores.
