Millwork, drawn twice and built once
A study of the shop-drawing standard we hold on every project: reveals, grain direction, and hardware set before fabrication.
- Species
- Rift white oak
- Reveal
- 4 mm, consistent
- Finish
- Hand-rubbed oil
- Hardware
- Unlacquered brass
The brief
Cabinetry is where a build is judged at eye level. Grain direction and reveal consistency are decided on paper, not at install.
How we built it
- 01
Drew every elevation with reveal dimensions called out and approved before fabrication.
- 02
Sequenced veneer so grain runs continuously across adjacent doors.
- 03
Dry-fit hardware on a sample door to confirm finish under the room's actual lighting.
- 04
Installed with shims hidden behind a consistent scribe, not filler.
Outcome
A finish carpentry standard we now apply to every kitchen, library, and closet package we build.
