Custom cabinet doors

So, after the contractors completed the upstairs remodel, they left me a load of scrap wood: redwood, Doug-fir, poplar. The idea was to purchase custom size cabinet doors for the hallway cabinets. But, after seeing the available leftover wood, we decided to build our own.

These are simple frame and panel doors with European hinges. The original design had partially recessed doors with a 3/8" lip overlay. It was impossible to find a readily available hinge for that installation. So, I opted for standard face frame hinges. They turned out pretty nice; just have to paint them now.
