Build bookcase help

acerunner

I want to build a custom bookcase out of plywood. I like the modern look of the thicker panels (~2") similar to this ikea bookcase. Ikea is a honeycomb paper core inside thin wood veneers. What's the best way to achieve this look with stuff I can buy at big box stores? Doubling up on plywood seem like a waste of material and unnecessary weight. i do need it to be sturdy though.

oh'mike

1/2" ply skins with solid wood faces would be stout and light----

Do you have a table saw?
