What do you use for immoral sized drawer fronts? g


Darn spell checker, shoulda been "normal"


BTDT. Don't ewe hate it when that happens?

OP: Kidding aside, Leon's answer presumes part of the answer to your
question, with which I whole-heartedly agree--one size for the rails
and stiles. And if you deviate from that, it should be stiles only
that vary (you could probably get by with subtle differences between
doors). But I think all the bottom rails and all the top rails have to
match.


Actually the rails can be a larger and it looks fine especially if the the
top and bottom rails have an arch on the panel side.


Yeah, I didn't state it very clearly. I meant all the bottom rails
should be the same size and all the top rails should be the same size.
