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! |

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. RonT |
