Looking for alternatives to raised panel doors and got to thinking.
If I would use just a plain (but cherry) ply slab could find a design
to overlay or otherwise enhance the simple slab, that might be one way
to go.

You might check with your local lumber yard and see if they have
something called cabinet door lip mold or D-158. It's a molding made
to frame around plywood doors and leaves a 3/8 off-set for use with a
3/8 off-set hinge. Very common 25 years ago but less so now. Our
local yard still carries it in oak but cherry might be hard to find.
Also any millwork that has been around that long will probably still
have knives and might get a kick out making it for you.
If you have a router and some bits you can probably come up with
something of your own design that would serve the same purpose.
