I've designed a kitchen buffet for my next project, the construction will be made of cherry. I'd like to use spalted maple for the door panels and end panels. I have never worked with the stuff before, so I'd like some opinions.
The doors will be 15"x29", leaving me needing a panel that will be in the 10"x24" range and the end panels will be very similar. I'd like to make raised panels, but I'm not sure spalted maple is stable enough for a raised panel??? The other option I have is to make an insert flat panel with the maple veneered to 1/4" plywood (but I dont see alot of spalted maple veneer for sale). BTW the doors and end panels will be rail and stile construction.
