Side project: Linen cabinet doors

We built cabinet doors for our linen cabinet (or whatever it's supposed to be) out of a 4x8 sheet of 1/2 inch poplar plywood. To make them match the rest of the shaker style doors in the house, we added strips of 1/4 maple and birch from sheets. We would have gone all maple, but there wasn't enough at the store. We're going to paint them white, so it doesn't matter too much.

Anyway, we don't have a nail gun, so we glued and nailed the strips on and then used a punch to sink the nail. Fill the nails in with wood putty, sand, wipe and prime the doors. The nice thing about remodeling a kitchen is you know you can trash it beforehand. It turns into our garage!
