OK, here's what I hope will be a very simple question that someone with cabinet building experience can help me with...
I'd like to build some raised panel doors for some existing cabinets in our den. The existing built-in frame is mahagany, and the doors are simply 3/4 mahogany ply. (House was built back in the late 50's). The doors are all 22" tall, and are either 12 1/2" or 19" wide. They will be flush fit with the existing solid wood frame, which is 1 3/4" wide above and below, as well as between, each door. There is a 1/4" cockbead detail which surrounds each opening.
The question is: What should the proper proportions (width) be for the rails and stiles?
Thanks in advance.
John
