Maple kitchen

Project by friesenlips posted 98 days ago 718 views 1 time favorited 11 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Here is the latest completed project. Built this for a good friend of mine and his wife for their new house. Pretty simple door design which they wanted. It’s all maple with a clear lacquer. 21 drawers in all and all dovetailed. That was fun, haha. They loved it.

What a beutiful kitchen

Yes they are simple doors but i think anything else in the space would be to overpowering

The okitchen is well laid out with lots of useable bench space and (my personal favourite the sink is not in the island bench which the designers here in australia think is great) beautifully executed

Well done

PS if you built this in your garage workhop i am impressed

The kitchen cabinets came out very nice.

What type of counter tops are they?

Yep it was built in my garage workshop. The countertops are a bevel edges laminate top. They look good and are cost effective.

That’s a beauty. Love the simple linkes of the cabinet doors and the layout also.

Nice job on the kitchen and the counter tops. I agree with hooky, the door style works really well for that size kitchen. Very well done.

I have a porter cable dovetail jig that I use. I buy prefinished birch ply from my supplier that comes in 4”, 6” and 8” sizes and is already edgebanded on one side and dadoed for the bottom. I just cut them to size and dovetail all the joints for strength. It works really well and they look good.

I’ve got a Maple kitchen similar to this. We have cathedral doors is about the only difference and our countertop is a little darker. Man you can’t beat that Maple for beauty can you? Beautiful work, you should be proud.
