Below is our Birch Raised Panel custom cabinet door. Birch is a relatively hard hardwood
with good wear resistance. Birch is Straight grained with a fine even texture. Reddish
brown heartwood and light-yellow sapwood. Birch has excellent turning, milling, and
machining properties - commonly used for spools, bobbins, dowels, bowls, etc. Highly
valued for plywood, paneling, furniture, and cabinetry. Other uses are boxes, baskets,
woodenware, cooperage, flooring, interior finish, doors, fixtures, and musical instruments.
Birch is an all around good wood, stains relatively well also commonly seen with
a glaze finish or more popularly clear finishes. Because Birch has a smooth grain
it also is an excellent choice for painted finishes where a hard durable material
is needed.
Shown here is our square raised panel cabinet door. All of our raised panel doors
are 5 piece doors. Also 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 raised panel to move with changes in
temperature and humidity making for a very stable door. The raised panel style door
has been used for centuries for entry doors, cabinet and furniture work. For our
solid wood stain grade raised panel doors, all of the wood is hand selected for color
and uniformity. Our solid wood raised panel cabinet doors use full 3/4” thick raised
panels. This makes for a very solid cabinet door.
Raised panel cabinet doors offer a very traditional look, with a solid presence.
Our raised panel doors are available with numerous panel details 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.
