There are many decisions that need to be made when designing the custom
cabinet or furniture product. It is a good idea to have a budget amount in mind
to guide these decisions.
The first decision is the type of wood to be used. Most cabinets use a hardwood
for durability. Some people have a particular grain in the wood that they
prefer. It all comes down to personal preference and budget. If you are budget
minded, you might choose a less expensive wood like alder, a medium cost wood
like hickory or maple, or a high end wood like cherry. It all comes down to your
preference and budget.
The second category of decision is the type finish. You may like the natural
look of wood or a stained look that enhances the grain of the wood. You could
use a less expensive wood like alder, stain with a red mahogany color, and
produce a finish that is very similar to a red wine colored cherry wood for a
lot less money.
The last major category of decision is the door style. The more complex the
design of the door, the more expensive the door style. Slab doors are the least
expensive and raised panel doors are on the upper end of cost.
The bottom line is that it is all up to you. We can custom mix stains or use a
special wood to get that special custom look that you want.
