It is hard to make this question clear. The field part of a raised panel should be where in relation to the frame, i.e. flush, …
And how much higher than the frame before it would be considered pretty bad?
Thanks,
Ken

Typically, the panel is anywhere from flush (even) with the frame or potrrudes perhaps 1/8". Beyond that, I haven't seen.

I just made some today. The panels that I have seen are flush or below the stiles and rails. Mine were sticking up a hair so I just back cut it a hair so it is flush.
Coming to you from beautiful Richmond, Va.
I always make the landing or field of the panel lower than the stiles and rails for ease in sanding. I make lots of doors and want to be able to put them through the drum sander after it's all glued up. For a 7/4 door, I make 6/4 panels, or 5/4, depending on the cutters I'm using. For cabinet doors, which I make at 13/16" stiles and rails, or 7/8" if I can get fat 4/4, I set the field about 1/8" lower than the stiles/rails, and the back of the panel about even with the stiles/raiks. Then I can drumsand the front, sand/ finish the landing by hand, and drumsand the back and mopsand the rear panel undercut quickly.
