Howdy, I have been lurking on this site for quite a while and have been impressed with the assistance/suggestions that has been offered here. It is refreshing to be able to ask a question and not feel like a complete idiot when reading the responses. Having said that, here goes my question.
LOML wants new kitchen cabinets. She likes the ones with wainscot inserts. I have built doors using the 1/4-inch artificial wainscot available at the big box, which looks ok but has no substance. I like the look and feel of raised panel doors that use a panel that is as thick as the rails and stiles. These raised panel doors have some substance and feel like they are of a higher quality.
OK, here's my question - how do I build panels that will look like wainscot and have the solid feel that I like? Do I use bead board and glue up panels, and then put in a big undercut on the back so that the front is uniformly recessed from the rails and stiles, or what.
Thanks, in advance for taking time to read this, and possilby responding.
Greg
