"Enduring Craftmanship"

Our Cabinets…
We are frequently asked about the construction of our cabinets and the materials used. For those people…

Our cabinets are a blend of American construction methods with European functionality.

Our Carcass…
Our carcass (uppers and bases) is constructed using solid 3/4" maple plywood sides, instead of the standard 5/8" or 1/2" sides that others use. Our carcass has a 1/2" maple plywood back panel. This results in a higher quality, stronger, and easier to install cabinet. You also won't have to paint behind the cabinets. We use a full spreader, also made of 3/4" maple plywood. Not the small corner blocks [gussets] that others use. This makes each cabinet a strong, free standing, high quality unit. Our standard cabinets have clear finished maple interiors. They look as good on the inside as they do on the outside. Special cabinet carcass material can always be substituted. Such as, beadboard backs or specialty veneers.

Our Finished Cabinets…
Since we are a true custom shop, we produce frameless and framed cabinets. The framed cabinets can be 3/4", 5/4" or 6/4". The rails and stiles can be in varied sizes and with or without beading. We typically use 1 11/16" wide. Our drawer boxes are 5/8" maple, dovetailed, and finished clear. We use European style hardware for our drawers and doors. The European hardware allows for precise adjustment. Even after the seasons pass and the wood expands and contracts, with the European style hardware the alignment of doors and drawers can be maintained. Our cabinets come standard with adjustable shelving in the uppers. The base cabinets can have adjustable shelves or, the more preferred, roll outs. All of our cabinetry is detailed by hand. We use a two part conversion varnish that is very durable and long lasting. We create beautiful custom finishes for each and every project we do.
