Hey guys, I'm in the process of closing in one side of a kitchen island with a frame and doors so that my lovely wife can have a place to store her cookbooks.

The kitchen is all maple cabinetry stained a "Shaker" color.

Last weekend I made a trip to Siefker Lumber in Delphos Ohio, and picked up 50 bd ft of Soft Maple for $2/ft. The wood is kiln dried, has wonderful figure, and 3 of the boards were over 10" wide so I was actually able to cut the panels from single wide boards. Look ma, no gluing up panels!:)

Here's the progress after all the doors are cut and routed. Things are still a rough, cause I haven't started sanding yet, but everything is fitting together nicely. Long way to go before they're in the kitchen, but thought I'd share anyway!

Thanks for looking!

Good going, Mathew! :) Now, for the $67,000 dollar question: We recently had a thread on the spacers used for paneled doors. What did YOU use for that? :confused: :cool:

They are looking great, Mat! Nice job.

Now...enquiring minds want to know...what color is "Shaker" color?? :D (I love the art marketing sometimes!!)
