Judy,

Thanks for posing your question. The cabinets against the walls have door and drawer fronts from quarter-sliced maple veneers over an MDF core with a clear, matte, conversion varnish finish. The cabinets on the island have door and drawer fronts from plain-sliced sapele mahogany veneers over an MDF core with a “coffee” stain and clear, matte, conversion varnish finish. All cabinets were custom made.

Regards,

Bill
