Hi,
I've designed a solid oak kitchen for the mass market in the UK. This will be mid priced and extremely competitive for solid oak. It is made to look like it is custom made so there are 3 mouldings that are added after initial fit.
My question is;
Are kitchen fitters confident in joining solid oak cornice & moldings with mitre joints? On straight joints too. I can only get oak in 2m lengths so there may be a lot of joints! Obviously there is no paint to hide any mistakes.
If you are a kitchen fitter, would you be confident to do this as bread & butter work? Or would this concern you.
Cheers
