Smooth raised panel or flat bead board?
I like the flat raised panel
I like the flat as well
Flat without the bead.
Yep I like the flat without beads
I'm in the flat panel camp as well. Biggest question is which one do you like better?
Of the two, raised. But if flat panel is in the mix I'd go with flat. Add some pins/dowels in the corners ;D!
Looks like mockernut smiley_devil. I like the raised panel as well. If we're preferring I like the beveled raise with a sharp shoulder myself. I made one set with sapwood frames, stiles and rails and heartwood panels just to accent them.
Flat if you have the grain to show off. Beaded if grain is ho -hum, beads add some visual interest. Also depends on overall décor - flat looks more modern, beaded more rustic. I've got nice, interesting red oak flat panels in my house put there by the original owner. Beads are tougher to clean.
oops that's raised if you have the grain to show off
I like the smooth. It shows off the wood grain more. And with a nice flat clear finish on there it will look good.
Hmm. Guess I'm the odd guy. I like the look of the beaded. I think the rails and styles are too heavy for that narrow of a door and the beaded looks more balanced with them that size. Also, I like the more rustic look. I agree with Don, the raised panel should have sharp edges. The soft edges look too modern (back to liking rustic more...)
Of the two I prefer the raised flat. My own preference however is shaker style flat non-raised.

I was thinking the same thing ;D. smiley_devil
You can tell what type of hickory by the grain?
The color says mockernut, white hickory, to me.
I like the flat.
No. But you can tell that it is a hickory. Don is just showing off ;D.
Don has a lot of mockernut :D
Flat without bead for me.
If it is mockernut, leaflets are 7 and the rachis is wooly tomentose. The nut involucre dehises completely exposing the whole nut. The nut involucre is also thick, up to 1/4". In pignut, the leaflets are in 5's, the rachis is smooth, and the nut involucre only partially dehises 2/3rds to the base. The nut involucre is thin.
Then, there is shagbark, shellbark, sand, bitternut, water, pecan, and red hickory ;D.
Hard to discern this in a panel unless you have paranormal powers. I always thought that Don was just a bit para-normal :D.
This was mostly shagbark T&G, but I ran out. Can you pick out the mockernut boards. The client could not, they kind of yell "what were you thinking" to me.

Not that I'm from around here :D
Don and WDH, yer killing me. :D :D
Now, my option isn't shown, but I would prefer a plain flat panel.
The mockernut boards are the ones with anastomotizing bark ridges, not large dehiscent scales ;D.
Now you're just being downright clairvoyant :D, yup mockernut has chain link bark.
Look at the middlish 2 heartwood boards in the center panel, the left of center board in the third panel and the brilliant white one towards the right end, those are mockernut. The op is also very common coloration in white hickory that I've not seen in the others... which I cannot tell one from the other of, mockernut is the oddball hickory. In a broad brush generalization, the heartwood of mockernut is muddier, not as striking, the sapwood is whiter, where in the others the opposite is more true, their sapwood tends to have muddier whites but sharply defined and deeper heartwood coloration.
It just jumps out at you and knocks you down ;D.
I can tell a difference between shagbark/scalybark and other hickory's... But only when the bark is on.
Back in the dark ages, I learned one called pignut, is this another name for one of the above Danny?
There is a species called pignut. Carya glabra.

Polyurethane. Wanted a tough finish.
Prettiest thing I've seen, and I like those cabinets too.
