Just checking before buying some wood for rail and stile Shaker-style doors for a vanity. I thought I'd use solid walnut for rails and stiles and walnut veneered ply for the panels. Is 3/4" the typical thickness for the rails/stiles, and 1/4" for the ply panels (note: these are not raised panels)? So if I wanted to keep it relatively simple, I would center a 1/4" groove in the rails and stiles--is that right?
Do people ever use 1/2" thick ply for the panels in non-raised panel doors? I guess that would mean that the inside face of the door is flush, so instead of grooves in the rails/stiles, the panel would essentially fit into a 1/2" rabbet. Is that done? I'm sure all this is discussed in my books at home, but I'm at work and may not stop off before buying some wood (typical last minute planning here).
