We recently completed this custom kitchen in Kingston, MA. We worked closely with the customer on the design and came up with a plan that provided a great deal more storage space and efficiency than the previous existing kitchen. The cabinets are solid maple with raised panel doors, drawer fronts and end panels. The finish is not a stain, but a dye. The dye puts color deep into the cells of the wood (as opposed to staining the surface) to create an almost three dimensional effect when you look at the figure of the wood. A glaze was then wiped on to slightly darken the finish to give a subtle hint of aging. This was followed by a hard laquer top coat. Details were routed into the door and drawer edges to pick up and show off the glaze. All other edges were softened with a small radius. All drawers were dovetailed, and various pull-out trays and racks were provided.
