I am a relatively new woodworker that is tossing about ideas on how to make kitchen cabinet doors. I have made raised panel doors in the past. My thinking is that I want the ones in the kitchen to be maple, frameless, full overlay and flat.
This brings me to slab doors. Now I know that wood expands and contracts. I have read that slabs can have warping issues if not down correctly.
I would like to know opinions on making flat panel doors that are essentially floating slabs sitting in a frame. Only the frame gets glued. When constructed, the appearance is that of a flat door. Is there any benefit to doing this regarding expansion/warping vs. a slab?
