Message Thread: Cabinet door wood type -- 0 -- 11/20        nolan Member I Posted on this site bc I need a professional opinion. I think the doors installed are not what I paid for. Trying to determine what type of wood my cabinet doors are. They seem to be different than the frame. Any help is appreciated.

Mike Fuson Maple. 11/21       #3: Cabinet door wood type ... Steve Member Wholesale door manuf., depending on their scale, can offer as many as 4 or 5 grades of maple, priced accordingly. 11/21       #4: Cabinet door wood type ... Robert Member To me they appear to be made out of what could be called paint grade Maple. 11/21       #5: Cabinet door wood type ... nolan Member Thanks for the replies. Could they be Alder? If they are maple would you expect to get this grade of maple if you were going with a light or natural finish? I added a couple more pics. Thanks again View higher quality, full size image (4128 X 2322) View higher quality, full size image (4128 X 2322) 11/21       #6: Cabinet door wood type ... Robert Member No, not Alder. With a clear, natural finish they would look rather spotty. As mentioned in an earlier posting from Steve, there are many grades of Maple. 11/21       #7: Cabinet door wood type ... Bob I agree, not Alder. Low grade maple usually for painted cabinets. Stain grade maple should not have that much varying grain color. Nothing wrong with quality of wood but not intended for clear finish. 11/21       #8: Cabinet door wood type ... ranliker Maple. Could be in the soft maple group, which has more color variation (from what I've seen) than the hard maple group. 11/21       #9: Cabinet door wood type ... Steve Member Nolan, I think the point that our comments have in common is that these are questions that are reasonably expected to be asked of your cabinet supplier, in fact should have been explained to you when ordering, so there would be no disappointment in what you would be getting. 11/21       #10: Cabinet door wood type ... Leo G I certainly wouldn't call it paint grade maple. But it's not select either. Plus when taking pictures of maple the stiles and rails will usually appear different shades when they really are much more similar. If you take the door and flip it on it's side the colors may flip also. 11/21       #11: Cabinet door wood type ... JeffD Yeah those are a lower grade of maple ply from what I'm seeing. Usually on an A grade you'll get a rotary cut veneer which appears much more even toned. Sometimes the backs have a B grade which is a different cut, (I forget the different names for the cuts, maybe flitch?), but looks like what you have. So very likely maple panels, just not the best grade and probably not the best choice for a natural finish, unless they're on the lower end of the price spectrum. good luck, JeffD 11/22       #12: Cabinet door wood type ... nolan Member Thanks for all the comments. I paid $2000 for doors. Even though I was told so, that price may not have been an actual itemized cost of doors. here are 2 pics that show all the kitchen cabinets. some sections show up in both pics. how does that price seem for the number of doors? View higher quality, full size image (4128 X 2322) View higher quality, full size image (4128 X 2322) 11/22       #13: Cabinet door wood type ... Larry I don't think Alder, probably soft maple. The angle of the light and the grain orientation can have a big effect on color. These are better than typical paint grade but not up to AWI custom. The veneer panels are a low grade mismatch. Did the $2K include shipping? 11/22       #14: Cabinet door wood type ... Shaun It for sure is maple just a lower quality of veneer. Isn't it odd for the end panels on the lower cabinets to go to the floor and not be a toe kick? Or is this common design that I am not aware of? 11/22       #15: Cabinet door wood type ... Larry End panels to the floor are common but suffer from damage due to floor cleaning. Much better to use a kick space, but more expense. 11/23       #16: Cabinet door wood type ... door shop guy low low grade maple from what i see. $2000 is sky high for flat panel doors! Those would be around $800 or so from me for stain grade soft maple. 11/23       #17: Cabinet door wood type ... JR Rutter Are they reverse raised solid wood panel doors? That's what they look like from the random color/grain pattern. Still seems like a high price, especially for the grade. 11/23       #18: Cabinet door wood type ... door shop guy Could be but i have seen some backsides of some nasty maple 1/4" sheetgoods look like that. B4 looks much nicer than that! I just supplied stain grade soft maple doors for a kitchen built by a contractor. The maple they used was brown maple sold as white maple to the customer and the wood came from a home center. Home centers have nasty and way overpriced wood. JR...how much more do you charge for solid 3/8 reversed raised panel doors? I charge 25% more. 11/23       #19: Cabinet door wood type ... JR Rutter My upcharge for solid wood depends on the species, but 25% is about right for most domestics, including maple. 3/24       #20: Cabinet door wood type ... newcabinetdoor Website: http://www.cabinetdoorworld.com/ The different angle of the light and the grain orientation may a big changes or effect of color. 0 --

Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate. Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question. A valid email return address must be included with each message. Advertising is inappropriate.

Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services. Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims. Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey. Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere.

Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums. Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top). Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous. Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top). Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top). Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages. There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).
