Below is our Hickory Inset Panel custom cabinet door.
Hickory is a very hard hardwood with tight, generally straight grain with a coarse
texture. Pale to reddish brown heartwood and whitish sapwood. Hickory is ideal for
applications where strength and elasticity are important. Commonly used for tool
handles, farm implements, baseball bats, flooring, veneers, paneling, long-wearing
chair parts (legs, backs, rungs), dowels, poles, ladders, turnery, and interior cabinets
and furniture. Hickory can be hand selected for a rustic appearance which it is commonly
used for. Hickory can be stained and finishes well, but do to its rather coarse grain
patterns it is not recommended for painting as this coarse grain will show under
some painted finishes. Of course if this is the look you desire for your painted
finishes then Hickory may be an excellent choice
Shown here is our square inset or sometimes called recessed panel cabinet door. All
of our inset panel doors are 5 piece doors. This style of door has a flat center
panel. This style of cabinet door has a very clean and contemporary look. These 5
piece cabinet doors are sometimes called frame and panel doors. Meaning that the
panel is held in place by the door frame. This is the most traditional way to build
these type of cabinet doors. This allows the inset or recessed panel to move with
changes in temperature and humidity making for a very stable door. For our solid
wood stain grade inset panel cabinet doors, all of the wood is hand selected for
color and uniformity.
Our inset panel cabinet doors are available in paint grade, solid wood, or economical
MDF panels and can have either square or edge detailing, such as a round over or
finger pull edge detail. Visit our door profiles page for the various options.
