hello my fellow lignurians (Whatever... classical scholars can chide me ) I have a huge problem with a set of cabinets that I made and installed a few weeks ago.. I built 2 cabinets about 1100 wide, each with two doors of solid blackbutt... when installed, they looked great, and had a gap of about 3 mm between doors. I had to go back to finish off some bits, and lo and behold, the doors had cupped so severely and shrunk so the gap was now about 10-15 mm.. the cabinets were installed beside a built in fireplace, and I feel I had no idea of how much moisture this would suck out of the timber... anyway, my question is this.. what is a poor dummy to do? I feel that I have two choices.. one is to build raised panel doors, which of course has the disadvantage of not looking like what was installed, the other, is to resaw the doors into say 4-5 mm slices, and use the timber to veneer onto a manmade substrate like MDF or plywood, to avoid the shrinkage and movement that has occurred. Can anyone give me some advice on what might be the best approach?? Any other suggestions? Any advice, ideas or whatever else you would like to throw at me would be welcomed!
cheers, Regan
