I've built my first set of kitchen cabinets for a new house but now i've got to build a "built in serving area" and i'm seeking advice how to handle something. See the attached picture.
My question deals with how to handle the bottom where the 1x6 baseboard along the wall intersects with the cabinet. The built-in sits back a good 8 inches from the front edge.
The built in cabinet will not have a toe kick (unlike the picture) but will be more like a standard piece of furnature. I suppose this also means that the bottom part of the cabinet (where the toe kick normally is) will sit out 3/4" beyond the face frame and have some kind of molding above it.
How do you handle the intersection of the baseboard (stained cypress) with the bottom of this cabinet (tigerwood)?
Seems like it will look kind of odd to build the cabinet snug against the side walls and then have this 1x6 baseboard just butt into it.
Thanks Bob C
