Thread: Sideboard doors

Hi Sam,

George Nakashima panel doors. Picture a bread board end panel. The panel is tenoned and glued at one corner and sits in an expansion groove till it meets a single stile , also tenoned. Panel and stile also have an expansion joint. So it is a flat 4 piece panel door instead of a 5 piece door. The top and bottom rails are cut for following grain.

I couldn't find a link. I'll post some I've made.

Thanks Bill, I googled George Nakashima and saw the door I think you're talking about. It looks quite good, might play around with the breadboard end widths and see how it looks.

Hi Sam,
Sorry for the delay. The two small cupboards have a small quirk along the rail. The large one does not, I think the quirk is more interesting.

I'm surprised these doors aren't used more often because they have a very contemporary feel.

　

Right and left hall stands, although some people call these jam cupboards.





edit: Some of you may have noticed the draw joints look a little funny. I was going fast, I got caught. If this was going out into the world I would have started over.
Purpose built (gun cupboard). This is a rush job. At that time I had more basses than I could handle.
