Help!!!
For my kitchen cabinets I want the doors to be a little different than the common raised or recessed doors, so I’ve been thinking of doing rails and stiles out of 3/4 birch plywood with a 3/8 recessed panel with applied molding on the inside and outside of the rails and stiles to really dress it up and to cover the ply’s. If I miter the corners and dowel them with 3/8 spiral dowels I think it would be more than strong enough, any one else try this before or have any input???
Thanks again,
Nate

Hi mnwoodworker ,
Perhaps you could use splined miter corners for a stronger glue joint than dowels , the applied moldings will cover the splines.
Why not use solid stock for the door frames and create the same design you speak of ?
It certainly can be done but imo the solid stock would have more structural integrity , but in reality you could make the frames out of mdf if you wanted to paint the doors.
