    We made these cabinets in our shop. The homeowner customized the door style her self, but it's a raised panel door style with 8 square raised wooden pegs per door. There are 4 pegs per drawer front. The wood is knotty alder wood. The color was a custom match that we did in our shop, it does not have a name. It was a stain and glaze finish with some distressing as well.

    Thank you! So you say you custom made them? I'm curious if you also put the raised pegs in the doors and, if so, how you put them in? Are they false pegs, or are they actually hammered into the wood or serving a functional purpose?

    They are actual wooden pegs that get hammered into each door. Then when we distress the doors, the edges of the pegs get worn back off, creating an eased edge. I believe the guys drill a round hole, then chisel it square and hammer in a small wooden square peg. There is no real purpose, except that it's intended to mimic an old fashioned method of furniture making in which the carpenters used mortise and tenon joints to hold things together. It's more of a decoration now. A very easy method that produces a similar look without all the effort is metal nail heads that can be hammered in during fabrication or after, by the homeowner. Rockler.com has some great little hammered nail heads we use quite often. You should drill a small pilot hole before hammering them in. :)
