Hello,
I have a cabinet project where the client wants cabinet doors made from solid wood panel. The wood species is in committee discussions. I am going to have to glue together a few 6-inch wide planks to fulfill this requirement for the doors. Undoubtedly, wood movement is going to be a problem for these doors. I thought about breadboard end trims, but that defeats the aesthetic appearance of a seamless panel. That was shot down...quickly. Frame and panel option...downed. So, back to the solid wood panel. Another option that I remember reading is a metal brace, mortised into the door back and screwed down to prevent warping or twisting with the seasons. For the life of me, I can't remember what it is called. Whatchamacallit??? Where to buy them?
Thanks.
