Re: slab door warpage


 

Hey David,
Wow, that really sucks given you were so involved with States while the panels were being produced. What's wrong with these companies? How can they help you make doors and then say you shouldn't make doors with the product? That's insane.

My big takeaway from this is that I've built my last kitchen. If things go south they can get bad in a hurry. For scale comparison, my job is about 5 times the size of your fireplace wall there (which looks great btw) I actually did a nearly identical kitchen maybe 5 years ago. It looks great. Horizontal quartered maple veneers. Did the vertical orientation make the difference? Who knows.?

I guess I will be remaking all the doors, even the ones that are still straight with MDF cores. I'm hoping to leave the drawer fronts alone. There are lots of them, and some are quite large. They are all together so at least the grain matching can be consistent there. I'll have to decide if I'm edge banding with 1/8 solids as is my preference, then laying up the veneers in house-or if I can get away with cutting pre veneered sheet stock and then edge banding as is industry standard. I'm going to make them wait till summer though out of curiosity to see what happens when the environment returns to install conditions.
