3 Ways To Build Cabinet Doors

What happens here

Measure and cut the floating panel, using the same overlap calculations as for the intermediate method (3/8 inch overlap on each side). Install a raised panel router bit into the router table. Carefully feed the panel through the router table on all four sides to create a subtle cove, or raised panel effect. This gives the door a classic, three-dimensional look.

Goal: Measure and cut the floating panel, then use a raised panel router bit to create a decorative cove edge on all four sides, giving it a 3D effect.
