Call me a masochist, but I'm looking at making my own Kitchen cabinets.
(found a great free(30day) program) www.kitchendraw.com.
I am considering either Maple or Oak facing and doors with a 3/8's plywood
frame and 5/8's bottom or simply refacing the existing frames with veneer
and making the
doors.
The doors (my main concern) is that I'm making them from solid wood and
simply rounding the edges, should I be concerned with it warping?
Thanks!
Thanks!

OK, take a look at www.doorsandpulls.com .
They have doors and other cabinet stuff at pretty good prices. The doors are
seconds.
I'm not associated with them in any way.
I picked up 8 ft of Red Oak and Maple 1x12. to give it a try. Thanks!
