Virtually every door and drawer variation that a cabinetmaker is likely to encounter is addressed and explained in full colour in this comprehensive guide. Designed to provide tips for the professional woodworker as well as inspire the hobbyist, this reference focuses on basic door and drawer construction, including tips for creating tambour, frame and panel, flat panel, louver, split panel, and coopered doors. A door gallery is included, as are discussions of advanced door and drawer construction, including historical door and cabinet styles, edge banding, and working with solid wood and non-wood composite panels.
