![]() ![]() The classic, clean border adds depth and refinement. All Salice hinges shown on door pages are for 1/2' overlay. The timeless design of a shaker door creates a warm and inviting ambience. Flash in the pan may describe the current hot colors of turquoise, orange and citrine.I hope.I'm desperately avoiding IOS-7 because the colors used are right in that trend's wheelhouse. We cannot warranty doors with widths over 26' or heights over 70'. "timeless".timeless is impossible! The planet we live on has a birthdate! I guess where I come down on the issue is: If it is still in use and over 100 years old.and no one wants to rip it out because it is ugly, then it has surpassed trend (nobody wants to tear out the New York Subways.some of them have historic preservation status). I find that the ACTUAL cabinets found in the Shaker communities, some 200 years or more old, tend (not always, as these were handmade, one of a kind) to have a 3-4" wide stile and similar sized, though slightly larger head rail and a much wider foot or kick rail.around 5".based on visual reference from photos as opposed to measured drawings. Reviewing the book that took me down the road of home building, cabinet and furniture making, "Shaker, Life, Work and Art" by June Sprigg and David Larkin, 1987, Stewart, Tabori and Chang, Pub. Photo 1 is a bead and photo 2 is a slanted edge like a bevel. What is the best, classic shaker door style (width of the stiles and rails and type of bead or bevel on the inside panel). Here are 2 photos of 2 examples of how he can do the inside edge. As a cabinet maker, Shaker style is more about simplicity of design and usually refers to the lack of ornamentation on the stile and rail "square sticking" and slab front drawers graduating in size from large at the bottom to small at the top. Hi My custom cabinet maker can make my doors however I want. ![]() I may consider a slot cutter for the panel if a edge groove is outside of the comfort zone on a tablesaw, but it would need a router table then as well.It is with interest that I read the statements of stile and rail size in Shaker cabinetry. Since we now the width of the shaker cabinet door needs to be 14, and each stile is 1 1/2, that means our rails should be 11 (14 3), right NO We need to. This is the same width used on standard door and window casing. If it was a cope profile it makes sense, but for a square end not so much. Typical width for shaker stiles on panels, doors and drawer fronts usually is 2 1/4 inches. I‘m not sure a router would be any easier or safer, especially cutting the endgrain tongue without a sled and support, seems like asking for splintering and rough edges. The groove is similar, for a few doors you could likely get by without a dado and take multiple passes with a single blade. Since the tongue is a stub tennon you don’t need to get very sophisticated in setup, and can be cut on the flat easily and cleanly with a miter gauge and backer board. Is there a 'rule of thumb' for the width of the stiles and rails on classic shaker door The cabinet maker is suggesting 2 1/2 inches. I have done tons of doors like this with a tablesaw and dado stack. I route out a 1/4inch groove down the middle of all pieces and cut out a 1/4inch tenon on the stile ends, which get inserted into the groove in the rails. The door stiles and top rail were perhaps 2 1/4' and the bottom door rail 150 wider still. Honestly, I’m shocked at all the router suggestions in this thread. I am using HD 1圆 white pine boards, 8 ft long, ripped down the middle for the rails & stiles, and 1/4inch 2x4 hardwood ply panels. Recently I looked through some books on Shaker furniture, and found I liked much better a slightly wider face frame stile and rail (perhaps 2'), and more pronounced door frame members. ![]() To determine the horizontal rail lengths, take the overall width (in the example, 18) and subtract approximately 3 inches. These can be designed in inset, full overlay, or standard overlay, in both our framed Crestwood cabinetry line and frameless Bria. Its rail and stile widths vary from 2 to almost 3 wide. In the example above, an 18 x 38 cabinet door would have 2 38 vertical stiles and 2 15 horizontal rails. The standard Shaker has a step down to the center panel and can have a beveled or 90 degree inside edge profile. You need the groove for the panel anyway, so you’re halfway there once the groove is cut. Step 3: Cut your stiles and rails to length. Lots of ways to get there, tablesaw, router, and most are pretty basic. Tongue and Groove is the way to go for shake style doors. ![]()
