Hello, I am looking to make up some cupboard doors to fit under the stairs
the height is about 1900mm and width is about 1450mm (725mm per door) with an angled edge at the top.
The look I am after is a pine fronted finished door about 30mm thick.
I have looked buyig furniture boards but the cost is prohibitve.
I dont want to use mdf and paint as pine will be in keeping with the decor.
I am thinking about using floorboards edge glued and batton on the back (18mm board + 12mm wood)
or pine cladding with a strengthening batton and ply on the back (8mm cladding +12mm wood + 9mm ply)
If I was to go for the cladding option would it be best to size up the ply fit battons and cladding last to keep cladding flat and straight or start by glueing up cladding then battons then ply?
Any advice would be appriciated as I have not made up doors before, I have done a fair bit of carpentry shelves ect and have medium skills.
Thanks
