Drawer fronts wanted

[Dreamboat]

Would anyone have any drawer fronts or cabinet doors left over from their renovation, like the ones pictured?

I have built those. Its just plywood with Afromosia veneer. The most difficult part is making the edge trim. Any good cabinet maker should be able to do it for you.

I have some of various sizes. What sizes are you looking for?

What type of wood did you use for the edge trim? From where did you source the plywood?

I need four pieces 13"w x 6"h for the drawers and one 14"w x 27-1/2"h for the door. If someone had larger ones, I could probably modify them to suit.

Just buy cabinet grade Baltic Birch plywood and veneer with Afromosia. I made the trim out of teak. Once finished they look identical to OEM.

I'll dig into the conex box this weekend and see what sizes I have. I'm pretty sure there were a couple of drawer stacks just don't remember the size.

If you need solid Afromosia stock you can get it from Exotic Lumber here in Annapolis, but teak can be stained to match Afromosia and looks basically identical, as noted above. Afromosia plywood is available out there, I got some from World Products, I think they are in NC. There are no doubt other sources as well.

I did what you said, so the next question is: What kind of stain did you use to match the existing shade of the afromosia as it is darker than the new veneer?

I used the original Dupont 704C until I ran out. Then I bought the stuff that Sam's has made that is pretty much identical to the 704C. At first the new wood still looks lighter, but it darkens over time. My galley refit looked lighter for a couple of years. Now you would not be able to tell what drawers are new and which are 35 years old.

Thanks Sky. I'll try that.

Sky, I followed your advice. Below are before and after pictures. I took the dishwasher out because it never gets used and replaced it with additional storage space.

Very nice.

Gary, did you lengthen the cabinets above the refrigerator? It seems that there is a seam running along the side of the photo. Did you get a shorter refrigerator and lengthen the cabinets?If so could you take a photograph of that for me.

 

[SKYCHENEY]

Nice work. Looks great!

This is the way I got the boat. It looks like they added a filler cabinet between the fridge and the upper cabinets. I guess if I ever want a taller fridge I can remove that filler.

That was definitely added. Is it possible you could tell me the dimensions, height, width, and depth and the cubic size of your refrigerator. If you had the make and model that would help as well. BTW it looks great.

The filler cabinet is 29" wide x 22" deep x 5-3/4" high

I don't know the rated cu. ft. of the fridge but the dimensions are: 28"W x 27-1/2"D x 61"H with doors on.
It's a Hotpoint top-mount, no-frost fridge and comes with an ice-maker, but an older model. According to the Owner's manual it could be a 14, 16, 17 or 18 cu.ft. model. The manual was published in 1997, so that will give you an idea of age. Can't find the model number.

Hope this helps.

That should fit up/down the stairs. A combination of dimensions hard to find now. it's either too deep or too tall.

Thank you Gary. Gives me some great ideas.
