Krenov-inspired cabinet #1: The doors

no previous part

Part 1 of Krenov-inspired cabinet series

This time I show how I made the frame and panel cabinet doors, with emphasis on the simple design elements that enhance their looks. For example, it is desirable to match the grain across the rails – and always keep track of which frame piece goes where ;-) . But the focus is on the bookmatched spalted maple panels.

Clamped doors during dry fit, showing the grain continuity in the top rails:

Cherry is my personal favorite to use in combination with maple. -- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

I am a huge fan myself, and I am in the process of designing a table top tea cabinet for my girlfriend. I love your doors, and I am gonna hop over now and check out your blog… Regards, JM -- Jarrod, Eagle Nest, NM http://anthologyfinefurniture.wordpress.com
Al Navas home \| projects \| blog 218 posts in 356 days posted 120 days ago	Thanks, JM! I would love to see the tea cabinet. Will you let us watch the build in photos or video! And maybe your initial concept, too. -- Al Navas, St Joseph, MO, http://sandal-woodsblog.com

I have about 5 projects in the planning phase right now…. I just got finished watching your video on the FMT. I am thinking of getting one, and trying to weigh the diffences between it and the Domino. I’m excited to see the cabinet develop.
