   Charlie, what you're probably looking for is called a 'bolection moulding' in British parlance. The edge has a rebate ~3/4" deep that encapsulates the fake stiles and rails, thus hiding the exposed plywood edges. This type of moulding sits proud of the plywood, and if you want to instal a panel, the opposite edge of the moulding is also suitably rebated.

   I'm not sure where you would buy such a moulding in the US, apart from a millworkers supply, and I recall that Home Despot and Lowes wouldn't be likely sources for such a specialised profile. Slainte..

   I appreciate your reply.  I may have found a source I hope they send the catalog pretty quickly.

    It should be apparent this is my first cabinet making project.  The plywood rails and styles are already attached.  The problem with taking so long to complete a project is you can change your mind.  I started out with the idea of refacing the base cabinets like you do block paneling and as I got into it decided to replace the top cabinets with 42'' cabinets with raised panel doors.  I am in a time crunch as I have promised to have the kichen complete by Christmas.  I was looking for a short cut for the front and back of the base cabinets.  I may have found the answer. http://www.hprp.com/main/raised01.htm

   If this doesn't work out, I will take your suggestion and make my own.  I appreciate your response.

   PS  I stayed up half the night reading different sections and was particularly interested about hand planing.  This afternoon was happly spent planing the panels that I had already glued up.

   very good - - a similar hand planing technique can be used to create rails and styles for your next project - - if you have a table saw (and your handplane),  you can create your own mouldings if the company in your link doesn't work out for some reason - they won't be ogee'd,  but attractive and presentable - - post back if  Hyde Park doesn't work out - good luck,  lots of help on this forum in regards to questions you may have - DOUD

   I have a table saw, router table with router bits, and a compound mitre saw and a lot of maple boards.  What I don't have is experience and time.  By the time I finish this project I will have more experience and will have had a good time.  Ha Ha.

   Thanks David,
