Hello all,
My father and I are just in the process of beginning to build Raised panel doors to give a facelift to his aginig cupboards. My question is what would your dimensions for the length and width if the rails and stiles be if you were going to make this? The set of cupboards has doors in the following sizes. 14.5" x 32", 15.5" x 32", 15.5" x 22.25", and 19.25 x 22.25". given these sizes, what would you guys make the dimensions of the rail and stiles. I would like to keep them all the same so I am looking for something that would look good on all sizes. From the rail and stile sizes i can determine the panel sizes.
Also, we are planning on using ash for the rail and stiles and 5/8" MDF for the panels as we will be painting them . We decided on ash because we knew it would hold screws really well. Would you guys glue the MDF panel in or not? What do y'all think about that. I apologize for all these questions but i have only built two small RP doors in the past and this project is a little more upscale so I want to make sure I don't mess it up.
Thanks for all your help guys and gals,
Cheers and Beers,
Kevin
