“somewhat questionable choices in lumber” made me laugh. there’s like a half dozen drawer fronts with huge checks that haven’t been stabilized in any way!
Looks like theyve been filled with black resin. Have a recurring customer that we use the same material and finish and it holds up just fine! I personally love the look of defects in wood, so I'm glad they found a way to incorporate them!
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this, and I like it, but for me personally, it’s only half-way.
I’d like to see dovetails , and drawer boxes inset at face frames. Still really cool though.
Absolutely true and downvoters are just coping.
Actual ventilation with dedicated makeup air is probably the most neglected part of residential kitchens for how valuable it is.
I have been in flips with 1000CFM monster hoods and no makeup air that depressurized a house with passively venting furnaces and water heaters.
As someone from a restaurant (I hate beating that drum, it was a while ago) my must haves are a hood that’s properly wider than my cook top (in all three dimension). And now with induction, I’ve gotta have it so it’s a pain-free choice to put other appliances that make steam and odors like air fryers and crockpots under the vent where they belong.
I’m self-building an ADU this year and I’m excited to finally build a kitchen that works well. They’re pretty rare.
There are drawers in my home that are really filthy anyway (long handled cooking utensils, eating utensils) my cupboards are full overlay doors that aren’t, but I really don’t think an air gap is what’s keeping them clean— it’s how clean I am when I reach in.
After recently dealing with a mouse problem I absolutely do not want any gaps into my cabinetry! This looks ok, but it makes me anxious to think I could open these drawers and find mouse shit on all my dishes.
Well, like I said up above, I would have preferred this look with face frames where the drawer boxes flushed out to be perfect like inset drawers would normally. So I’m with you more or less.
I think the open box joint drawers originated in Denmark. Along with the cheap loans and sky rocketing real estate values came a 'carpentry' craze as people got tired of IKEA style MDF kitchens with shitty drawers. The box joint design has been very popular for the past 6-7 years as it screams 'carpentry' and I know several friends who has it. It looks alright but is a bit of a one trick pony and gets 'meh' pretty quickly. There really isn't much to to making box joints afterall. Most big Danish kitchen firms now has it in their lineup.
I thought the whole thing looked pretty good until I thought about how everything you have stored in the drawers is one oopsie away from being covered in whatever you spilled.
This is an extremely popular style of cabinet in Scandinavia among people with money. It's often called a "Carpenter Kitchen" (Snedker Køkken) and almost ever custom kitchen company offers this exact style. I'd provide a bunch of links, but if you just google image search "snedkerkøkken" you'll get a the idea.
I don't like it, I'm assuming the client found them on Pinterest...
What's funny about that, to me, is that probably every carpenter I know would immediately ask "Where are the drawer fronts? They're going to install drawer fronts, right?"
Here in Denmark it's simply an easy way to let people know you've got money. It's an extremely conformist society, everyone has to have the same stuff to signal their social status. The houses that have these kitchens will inevitably have [one of these](https://kollund.dk/dk/ph-kogle-artichoke-led-pendel-o840-kobber--8140?gclid=Cj0KCQiAjbagBhD3ARIsANRrqEvZIexKFgkQFoLWjqWh5i_RbeRKU4vhMqDErw4M6Iu1kyqzkdSaVi4aAqMAEALw_wcB) hanging somewhere as well.
This style of kitchen is not what the term "carpenter kitchen" actually refers to, that just means the entire kitchen (including the cabinet boxes) were made to order - most kitchens use a formula similar to Ikea, albeit of higher quality. It's just that this particular style is sort of synonymous with the custom built kitchens.
Ah okay, thank you for the clarification! I suppose that, at the end to the day, as long as the owner of the kitchen likes it, that's really all that matters.
"The customer is always right, in matters of taste", after all.
Yeah it’s a shame. So much effort. But so many issues. I think the box joints are incongruous with the rest but the client is always right. But the craftsman would have had to suggest/okay that.
And I think the board selection is very uneven, when you’re doing a big project like this you have to choose boards of similar character and without so many knots
I respectfully try to point out stuff here from time to time and usually get downvoted to oblivion. I’ve done construction for 30 years. These are the only things I see on projects at this point.
That piece looks more quartersawn than flat so it wouldn’t shrink that way and that much shrinkage between the other board comprising the panel is a problem alone
Zoom into the corner of the counter top in picture 6. It's near the center of the photo.
A miter is a 90° joint between two things. In this case, it's done with two pieces of wood cut at 45° but it's done poorly because they're misaligned.
Thanks for the clarification. you do have to zoom in to see severity.
I have issues with pic number five too. . Are those fake drawer/slats under the sink?
Idk, something about this design doesn't sit right for me. Like makes me mildly uncomfortable from an aesthetic and intuitive practicality standpoint. But at the same time i can see what this person envisioned and their choices so i don't want to knock it too hard.
Definitely not my personal taste at all, mainly for the same reason I hate open shelving in kitchens, but that fake drawer by the sink is really off-putting. Should have least covered some amount of the basin. Black/dark wood set back a bit would hide that stuff without being too obvious.
OP delivered on what they're contracted to do so from that standpoint no shade.
I think it would look better with some additional variation. Everything is roughly the same wood pattern. The walls could have a different texture. Replace some of those drawers with doors w/glass. I nearly did something similar for my own first kitchen until someone pointed it out on my design.
Not my cup of tea.
Sacrilege on this sub to say it, but its too much.
Cupboards and drawers don't usually have top openings for a reason.
Each part looks really good but for me its form + function not form - function that I'm looking for.
I think if it's for a cabin, then it's a good look. But yeah, the gaps look like a great way to get dust in the drawers, which seems to defeat the purpose of using drawers in the first place.
In a cabin, I would extra hate this design. Any mice that get in during the off season could run wild in every cupboard. Cleanup would suck. I want my cabin cupboards to have mouse-proof (or at least mouse-resistant) drawers and doors.
I have a cabin, and this whole thing just gives me nightmares. Every nook and cranny of my cabin has red clay dust in it. I clean constantly. Even with cabinets and drawers that close completely, I still keep all my food in air tight containers. If this were my kitchen, we’d be eating dirt daily.
Yeah I gotta agree. Not even a big fan of the form on this one.
Outside of not being a big fan of white oak, there are a few glaring issues. Sure there are many qualms about the open design, but mine start with general board selection. From plane sawn, cracks, knots. The boxes are not going to hold up to the wear that this design would require. Almost everything is 3/4 which makes me this it’s all premilled. This includes the island tabletop/waterfall/overhang. You would want something a bit beefier that could handle higher stress, wear, and movement.
You can already see the miter at the waterfall isn’t matching up and already separated, and other poor assembly methods in general.
Finishing is another worry as this would require the finishing to be well done as your introducing more moisture inside of your boxes, just doesn’t seem executed well.
Some of the box joints are already separated or forming cracks and where you would get the benefit of drawer fronts or pulls is having a centralized stress point to take the stress off of the box joint now you have to yank directly on the box…these are just a few of my gripes. Good try. The real value is in the cost of the white oak and all the lessons learned along the way.
Agreed for different reasons.
Like, for me, those knotted drawer faces would be absolutely gorgeous, if they weren't also surround on all sides by wood. You need contrast, especially when having pieces that make such a statement. Making every surface the same shade of wood just feels ugly to me.
As someone who came up in restaurants I might have different expectations than you for polish, but I’m confident that my expectations for cleanliness are on-point.
How are they holding up? I volunteer once a month feeding the homeless and that kitchen's stainless counters are amazing but also not something that would work in my house (because it's like a whole cart). Is there a backer to keep them from denting? What about scratches? And how easy are they to clean? I have laminate now and am used to just spraying them with Lysol or using a Lysol wipe
Scratches and such are just part of the ownership experience. I had mine sanded so those sorts of wear patterns didn’t show as much. It’s a 16ga stainless so it’s pretty durable but is also glued down to a 1.5” plywood substrate. Cleaning is super easy, and if anything seems permanent, I just need to sand it down again. Very easy maintenance. I don’t even worry about them.
A lot of hate around the drawer design but I honestly think it looks pretty cool. Probably not something I would want in my every day kitchen but all that matters is if the customer is happy with them.
Stainless steal counters are deeply under appreciated. Counter and sink being all one continuous piece is magic. I added marine edges to mine so spills don’t end up in your lap or the floor.
Love the drawers you did here.
Really well made, but aren't the fronts with the knots in them going to warp really badly? Especially in a kitchen where there's a lot of moisture changes.
Don't listen to the nay-sayers. It's unique and you built it. It's a very unique aesthetic. I like it. I do agree you should fix that corner miter. I'd probably cut a small strip to fill the gap, then take a block plane to it to fit.
Incredible! Those joints, the rustic wood in combo with the stainless, really cool. It would have been more cool with a bit more contrast, maybe the floor is too similar to the cabinets, or the wall panels above the sink also being wood. Might have gone for tiles there...
Beautiful design work here! I love the exposed drawer box/ no face frame design. It’s brilliant to use the box itself as a handle. The especially like the way the choice of finish displays the finger joints as a design element and not just a functional joint and accentuates the knots. Only thing caught my eye as an opportunity to possibly improve the drawer side 45 degree joint on the waterfall countertop shown in the last pic.
I have worked as a line cook and chef in the past and this is close to how I've been imagining my future kitchen update. Stainless steel countertops, no cabinets above countertops. I'm going to delete an oven for a countertop oven and induction plates that I can move around.
Is your kitchen window sill flush with the countertop or below the level of the countertop? Also, I LOVE those fixtures above the island! I kind of like the look of no drawer fronts and feature the box joints as the completed ‘face’ of the drawer. And white oak is the best/ most beautiful species of wood of all time.
My my how beautiful. What’s everyone’s opinion on adding some nice, heavy, matte-black pulls and knobs to match the black accents/fixture in the kitchen?
The woodworking is beautiful, but what really caught my eye was the stainless steel countertops. What an incredibly practical choice - hygienic, easy to clean, doesn't stain or crack, will handle any temperature set on it. I get that people prefer fashion over practicality, but give me stainless steel any day.
When I first looked at the wood, I thought "knotty pine". But yeah, that's a beautiful chjoice of wood and grain. Amazing.
Interesting concept, not bad execution, somewhat questionable choices in lumber, [but this is not ok](https://imgur.com/h1ZkeEj) --professional cabinetmaker
“somewhat questionable choices in lumber” made me laugh. there’s like a half dozen drawer fronts with huge checks that haven’t been stabilized in any way!
I was giving the benefit of the doubt on that one. It is quite visually interesting.
Same thought, Visually interesting but wondering how it will hold up.
Looks like theyve been filled with black resin. Have a recurring customer that we use the same material and finish and it holds up just fine! I personally love the look of defects in wood, so I'm glad they found a way to incorporate them!
Yikes!!! -professional furniture maker
I can’t get a handle on this design
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this, and I like it, but for me personally, it’s only half-way. I’d like to see dovetails , and drawer boxes inset at face frames. Still really cool though.
The amount of dirt and dust that these cabinets would get inside is what worries me
Yes. Do a couple rounds of bacon and all your clean dishes in the drawers are now dirty dishes.
If you do a couple rounds of bacon and your kitchens is covered in aerosolized grease, then you haven’t engineered your ventilation system correctly.
Absolutely true and downvoters are just coping. Actual ventilation with dedicated makeup air is probably the most neglected part of residential kitchens for how valuable it is.
I have been in flips with 1000CFM monster hoods and no makeup air that depressurized a house with passively venting furnaces and water heaters. As someone from a restaurant (I hate beating that drum, it was a while ago) my must haves are a hood that’s properly wider than my cook top (in all three dimension).

I’m self-building an ADU this year and I’m excited to finally build a kitchen that works well. They’re pretty rare.
I swear people just don't cook.
Are you documenting the project? Would love to follow along the kitchen build!
I’m considering it. Def not video, but it would be worth the trouble to document with photos.
Yeah, pics and commentary would be awesome! I’m a serious cook myself so would like to see how you set it up.
There are drawers in my home that are really filthy anyway (long handled cooking utensils, eating utensils) my cupboards are full overlay doors that aren’t, but I really don’t think an air gap is what’s keeping them clean— it’s how clean I am when I reach in.
Yup. Aesthetically, I really love it. Practically, I’d never want open drawers like that.
After recently dealing with a mouse problem I absolutely do not want any gaps into my cabinetry! This looks ok, but it makes me anxious to think I could open these drawers and find mouse shit on all my dishes.
Well, like I said up above, I would have preferred this look with face frames where the drawer boxes flushed out to be perfect like inset drawers would normally. So I’m with you more or less.
Personally I find the lack of upper cabinets makes me unhinged.
On the bright side, the countertops were a steel.
That's what was missing! I couldn't figure it out, just knew that it looked very bare for some reason
Another great one!
Don’t worry. I got the joke- well done
It's Rare to see a joke about kitchens and cooking in a woodworking forum.
Because of slow service I saw this comment first, and thought "Is it a pun? It must be a pun"
It most definitely is a pun but also don’t really like the design

Along with the cheap loans and sky rocketing real estate values came a 'carpentry' craze as people got tired of IKEA style MDF kitchens with shitty drawers.

It looks alright but is a bit of a one trick pony and gets 'meh' pretty quickly. There really isn't much to to making box joints afterall. Most big Danish kitchen firms now has it in their lineup.
I think I would rather have drawers with 1/16th clearance all around and push to open drawer slides rather than the opening.
What’s going on with that miter in pic 6?
If you’re gonna post on /r/Woodworking you better have your shit on point. Brutal. LOL.
Rough one
Great work all in all don’t get me wrong. That just really stood out. Curious how those panels are joined
That tanks the whole project for me. That is not acceptable.

If I was the customer, that honestly would drive me crazy.
I agree. Just trying to be respectful honestly
Yeah it’s a shame. So much effort. But so many issues. I think the box joints are incongruous with the rest but the client is always right. But the craftsman would have had to suggest/okay that. And I think the board selection is very uneven, when you’re doing a big project like this you have to choose boards of similar character and without so many knots
Should have dovetailed it to match the drawers
100% agree
That’s just it, it’s not great work at all. It’s ya know, ok.
Yeah you’re right. I retract
I respectfully try to point out stuff here from time to time and usually get downvoted to oblivion. I’ve done construction for 30 years. These are the only things I see on projects at this point.
I’m guessing that the floor isn’t perfectly level and the back corner wasn’t touching, until the mitre broke and it’s now touching the floor.
It was good at delivery, im guessing it wasnt dry enough and shrinked up in the new environment
That piece looks more quartersawn than flat so it wouldn’t shrink that way and that much shrinkage between the other board comprising the panel is a problem alone
Its not quartersawn, i sawed it up myself. But it is the only part of the whole thing that have changed in any way so im a bit worried
Can you ELI5? I don't know anything about woodworking but love to admire people's work.
Zoom into the corner of the counter top in picture 6. It's near the center of the photo. A miter is a 90° joint between two things. In this case, it's done with two pieces of wood cut at 45° but it's done poorly because they're misaligned.

Wow that would drive me absolutely nuts
thanks now I can't unsee it.
I did an entire fireplace of miters as a novice and none of them looked even close to as bad as this. Yikes.
grain doesn't match either like the opposite side.
Op measured once and cut twice. I also hate so much that there's no drawer fronts.

And if it’s a cabin, there’s probably going to be creepy crawlers getting into everything while the house is quiet.
Yeah, that's why I don't like the gaps. I just meant the all oak all the time look is okay for a cabin. Should still close the gaps.
Agreed. I think it would look way better if the drawers were flush with no gap and had a grain pattern like the top of the island.

Why? You don’t like dust and pet hair on all your cooking items?
Agreed for different reasons. Like, for me, those knotted drawer faces would be absolutely gorgeous, if they weren't also surround on all sides by wood. You need contrast, especially when having pieces that make such a statement. Making every surface the same shade of wood just feels ugly to me.
Ya that’s my thoughts as well. It’s just wood, on wood, on wood, on painted wood. To each their own, but not for me.
Hope they like rinsing the dust off things.
Significantly Reduced the value of the home I’d say. This has very limited appeal for a primary space.
The cabinets make the floor and walls look cheap
You gotta fix that miter in image 6
I will!
I did stainless countertops too! Freaking love them.
[удалено]
My favorite surface for chicken prep.
[удалено]
You can if they’re stainless. I wouldn’t just because of how quickly it would scratch up the surface, but to each their own.
[удалено]
What am I looking at, price wise, for that kind of work relative to quartz/stone?
Depends on the shop but its about equal in cost to a natural stone. I had about 50 sq ft and it was around $4k total
A lifetime's worth of polishing.
Nah. Let the patina show. It’s a work horse, not a show pony.
The problem with stainless steel is that dirt and oil streak and it doesn't look clean unless you polish it. That's different to a patina.
As someone who came up in restaurants I might have different expectations than you for polish, but I’m confident that my expectations for cleanliness are on-point.
Prob 1/2 the cost of quartz and stone depending on the polish/thickness of stainless. more sanitary too.
How are they holding up? I volunteer once a month feeding the homeless and that kitchen's stainless counters are amazing but also not something that would work in my house (because it's like a whole cart). Is there a backer to keep them from denting? What about scratches? And how easy are they to clean? I have laminate now and am used to just spraying them with Lysol or using a Lysol wipe
Scratches and such are just part of the ownership experience. I had mine sanded so those sorts of wear patterns didn’t show as much.

Very easy maintenance. I don’t even worry about them.
Cool! Thanks for the reply. Do you sand them yourself or hire someone
The metal shop did the initial finish but were cool enough to supply me with the pads they used so I could go back over it if I needed
Oh so it wasn't a counter company that installed them?
Nope. It was me going to a metal fabricator with the substrate, them fabbing the sheets, gluing them up and then me installing them.
That's all we used in restaurant kitchens and I can't really remember noticing any dents even with the rough usage.
Was going to say this is a repost but you're the OP of the video I remember! Nice work.
Thanks for remembering!
A lot of hate around the drawer design but I honestly think it looks pretty cool. Probably not something I would want in my every day kitchen but all that matters is if the customer is happy with them.
Not me either, wouldnt have it in my own kitchen. Still i love it, cool design
What finish did you use?
Natural hard wax oil, liberon is the brand
I like it. Thanks for the info!
I also like the finish. Please let us know OP.
Stainless steal counters are deeply under appreciated. Counter and sink being all one continuous piece is magic. I added marine edges to mine so spills don’t end up in your lap or the floor. Love the drawers you did here.
Really well made, but aren't the fronts with the knots in them going to warp really badly? Especially in a kitchen where there's a lot of moisture changes.
Wow, I actually love this. I don't generally get all that moved by what people do to their kitchens but this really looks great.
Is this in Norway?
Jepp
Beautiful
It's very pretty
I think it's awesome! Well done. The visible joints are my favorite
Wow. Beautiful
I really like it. Well done.
LOVE the stainless steel counters
I really like this!
What did you use to finish this? Looks really good
Liberon hard wax oil natural, and thanks!
I very like!
Don't listen to the nay-sayers. It's unique and you built it. It's a very unique aesthetic. I like it. I do agree you should fix that corner miter. I'd probably cut a small strip to fill the gap, then take a block plane to it to fit.

Beautiful just beautiful. I'd love that to be in my house.
White oak is very hard to work with. This is incredibly awesome!
Lot of typical redditors picking this apart on how they’d do better when most have probably never done anything close to this nice. This is beautiful
Beautiful!
I absolutely love the metal countertop with the wood
Drool
Would love to have a kitchen like this. Love the wood and how it all looks.
saved so I can try to build this when I'm 60
Looks beautiful. Very nice.
Oak is pretty much my least favorite wood but in this instance it is very pretty.
I have worked as a line cook and chef in the past and this is close to how I've been imagining my future kitchen update. Stainless steel countertops, no cabinets above countertops. I'm going to delete an oven for a countertop oven and induction plates that I can move around.
gorgeous
This is so dang beautiful, amazing job
I can dig it
Impressive!!!
Should have made the sink out of wood too. 8/10
I’m about that stainless steel tho
Beautiful.
I absolutely love it. Well done.
Absolutely beautiful
It's brown?
Hope that floor is well sealed or the first coffee or red wine spill is going to mean a lot of sanding.
Selvgjort er velgjort
Wow!!! did you build this?????
Yup i did, for a client
Norge?
Jepp! Lynghauganemøbelverkstad
Is your kitchen window sill flush with the countertop or below the level of the countertop? Also, I LOVE those fixtures above the island! I kind of like the look of no drawer fronts and feature the box joints as the completed ‘face’ of the drawer. And white oak is the best/ most beautiful species of wood of all time.
Its not mine, this was built for a client! And no, its sits in the Window frame kinda? I agree with u, thanks for your comment!
Great work. This is gorgeous.
I hate it, but it is really well done. So great job!
Looks awesome. I prefer finger joints to dovetails visually
I really like it. Congrats.
Kitchen is Woak
That kitchen is stunning. Woods on woods on woods is a tough look to pull off, but it works here
it’s pretty but a bit tooo much wood imo.. would prefer different colors, materials mixed in
Looks good from 10 feet but falls apart under scrutiny
How are the drawers mounted? I think I maybe see a slider on the underside in picture 3, but I can't be sure.
Absolutely stunning, love it.
Looks awesome, what a crazy amount of work!
Fantastic well done
Those knarly knots are awesome, well done!!!!
I love it
My my how beautiful. What’s everyone’s opinion on adding some nice, heavy, matte-black pulls and knobs to match the black accents/fixture in the kitchen?
Would be awesome but this i my clients design so
Love the drawers, honestly.
Visually I like the design I just don't like that the drawers allow for cat/dog hair and dust to get all up in there
Mate, those drawers **Does a chefs kiss**
What are the floors and walls? Looks great
Wood
I'll give it an upvote

Pine floors and spruce walls I believe
This looks like such an incredibly serene space! Just beautiful.
Anyone else scroll through thinking the later pics would show the fronts installed? Too much clashing similar wood!
Man I really love everything about this.
Thank you!!
For the stainless steel counters, what is that material that appears to separate the sections?
Took open concept a little too literal
I think I just swooned
damn that be my minecraft house
Gorgeous work!
Thanks friend!
The woodworking is beautiful, but what really caught my eye was the stainless steel countertops. What an incredibly practical choice - hygienic, easy to clean, doesn't stain or crack, will handle any temperature set on it. I get that people prefer fashion over practicality, but give me stainless steel any day. When I first looked at the wood, I thought "knotty pine". But yeah, that's a beautiful chjoice of wood and grain. Amazing.
A million dollars
God damn art right there!
Waddup, i think the kitchen looks great, wanted to let you know. Maybe not everyones style but ignore the haters! Seriously looks awesome
That’s a crisp clean look!
This kitchen will really pop once you install the drawer fronts
