I have an upcoming project and I am having trouble figuring out how to build the doors the way I would like. The doors will be approx. 32" tall and 16" wide, frame and raised panel on a frame-less carcass, full overlay. The hard part is that I would like to have the top 6" or so of the door look like a drawer front, but still be part of the door that opens.
My only ideas are to make my stiles full length, and make three sets of rails. The middle rail will be approx. double the width of the other two. I'll cut a V groove in the middle of the double width rail to mimic the division between the door and drawer. The lower "door" section of the whole door will have a raised panel. And the upper "drawer" section of the whole door will have a flat panel as it will only be about 6" tall overall and couldn't fit a raised panel in it's section of the frame.
Does that make any sense, is there a better way to go about it, is that going to look weird???????
Thanks for any help and/or advice, in advance :eusa_clap:eusa_clap
