Kooking for Ideas and Suggestions regarding building Kitchen Cabinets!
 

Call me a masochist, but I'm looking at making my own Kitchen cabinets.
(found a great free(30day) program) www.kitchendraw.com.

I am considering either Maple or Oak facing and doors with a 3/8's plywood
frame and 5/8's bottom or simply refacing the existing frames with veneer
and making the
doors.

The doors (my main concern) is that I'm making them from solid wood and
simply rounding the edges, should I be concerned with it warping?

Thanks!

OK, take a look at www.doorsandpulls.com .
They have doors and other cabinet stuff at pretty good prices. The doors are
seconds.
I'm not associated with them in any way.

The last set of cabinets I built were out of pine plywood and some of
the doors warped anyway.

Not sure about solid wood but I am going to try it soon on my next
cabinets.

I have seen some cabinet refacing jobs done by carpenters come out very
good.

Good luck with the cabinets.

Thanks!

I picked up 8 ft of Red Oak and Maple 1x12. to give it a try. Thanks!
