I have a project that is coming up and I am not sure how to make the phony drawers. I have to match a cabinet that is already in their room and it has doors and drawers that are all panel type doors and drawers
It will look something like the images below, the big difference is the 3 drawers. The main wood will be 3/4" oak plywood with oak banding and skirt. The original had drawers on the bottom row.
The one I am making will have 3 look like drawers on the top. It will not be drawers, it will be a fold out door with all the area behind the door open, here comes the problem. I want them to look like drawers but they won't be drawers.
So should I make 3 drawer fronts and then connect them all together with a strip of oak between each of them? The back of the door does not need to be flat, it will not be used to write on or anything like that.
Mill some oak down to 1/2" to make the phony rails and stiles. then mount them to some 1/2" oak plywood.
Just not sure what to do......
