Traditional Joinery

Every cabinet that we make is handcrafted in our Bath, Maine shop using traditional time-proven joinery. All doors and architectural panels are built with mortise and tenon joints using a full 1" tenon and a solid floating panel. On earlier period styles the corners of the doors are pegged. The cabinet
faceframes are also mortised and tenoned for strength and stability.

Drawers are dovetailed and employ a concealed undermount heavy-duty full-extension slide system, so that when you open the drawers, all you see are the beautiful dovetails, and when you close the drawer it is whisper smooth, every time.

Doors and drawers are flush-fitted to the faceframe in the same way that fine furniture has been built for hundreds of years. These construction methods are in part what make the difference between a factory cabinet that looks good when it is installed and our custom cabinets that stay looking good for many, many years.
