have a face-frame / door question re a bookcase I want to start building that’ll be +/- 12” deep and +/- 18” wide.
I usually make my face-frames 1 3/4” wide and “wrap” the face-frame around the corners to create a frame and panel effect on the gables.
My questions revolve around the visual relationship between the door’s frame and the case’s face-frames.
With an inset door, how wide do you think the door’s frames surrounding the door's panel should be?
(I don’t want the front to look heavy between the face-frame and the door’s frame.)
With a door overlapping the face-frames, should the face-frames be wider so when the door is closed, the face-frames still shows 1 3/4”? Also, the same question re the door's frame width too.
