Wainscot Cabinet Doors
Our Expert
Wainscot cabinet doors consist of a stile-and-rail framework surrounding thin tongue-and-groove wainscot. I suggest using 3/4" thick stock for the door frame. You can join the corners of the frame with Amana Tool no.55401 which will also cut the 3/8" groove for the wainscot.
The 3/8" thick wainscot can be a tongue-and-groove or half-lap assembly. It's important that the wainscot fit snug in the panel groove and that no glue is used on the wainscot to allow for seasonal wood movement.
