Solid Oak or Maple Laminate for kitchen cabinet doors (2025 Update)

Apr 18, 2004 Last reply: 8 months ago 1 Replies

Dear experts,



My latest project is refinishing the kitchen.



I've decided to keep the existing cabinets, and have painted them. But I'm thinking of changing the doors.



At Home Depot, I saw, in the same section as the melamine, what they called a pine laminate.



This are long pieces of pine, edge glued together to form a flat board. The same effect is seen in a solid wood table top.



I like this idea, of using real wood laminate for the cabinet doors. But but I'm not fond of pine. I could make them myself, but I would have to buy the tools, and take the time to build the boards, before finally getting to making the doors.



Does anyone know where I could buy a similar, solid wood, edge glued laminate? But, made out of oak or maple? I live in the Boston area.



Also, do I have the right term? Does this product go by another name? (not oak/maple laminate?)


Thanks a lot
