Now that I am a master woodworker I would like to tackle refacing my kitchen cabinets. I was not sure what style I was going to do this in till I noticed at breakfast this morning that I liked the doors and drawers on the hutch we have in the kitchen and thought, why don't we have them match
It looks like they are a simple frame using a tongue and grove with a center piece made of 3/4 wood routed down at the edges to 1/4 to fit into the frame.
I can sort of guess how I am going to do this and I know there is going to be some trial and lots of error to get it right
Looks like I will need to join pieces together to make the panels for the doors and without a jointer or planner it will be more difficult but not impossible.
My question is what would be the best wood to use. I would like a wood that would be easy to work with but would also stand up. The cabinets do not take to much abuse. Also looking for a wood that would be fairly inexpensive, but I do not want to be cheap with it either since we will be looking at them every day.
Your help would be much appreciated.
