Permalink →Fluted Panel Gable Detail
What are fluted panels in modern cabinetry? +
Fluted panels feature evenly-spaced parallel grooves (flutes) CNC-machined directly into a solid wood board or MDF substrate. They are commonly applied to island gables, full-height pantry ends, and hood surround faces. The depth and spacing of the flutes can be customized; a 3/8" groove at 1" spacing is a typical contemporary profile. Fluted panels add tactile depth to otherwise flat surfaces and photograph particularly well with raking side-light.

Permalink →Wood Tambour Door Construction
How are wooden tambour roll-up doors made? +
Tambour doors consist of narrow hardwood slats (typically 3/4" wide × 3/8" thick) glued edge-to-edge onto a flexible canvas backing. The assembled panel rolls along CNC-machined aluminum tracks recessed into the cabinet carcass top and sides. Oak, Walnut, or Maple slats can be finish-matched to adjacent cabinetry. Motor-driven tambour systems are also available for motorized appliance garages. The track radius must be at least 3" to prevent the slats from binding.
