What do you use to stain the front beech panels ?

[@deVOL.Kitchens]

We use water-based stains that soak into the beech and enhance the natural colour of the timber. After staining, it’s rubbed back and a water-based lacquer is applied, which helps to protect both the colour and the wood and means you can easily wipe the cupboards. Hope this helps!

How do you keep this beech board from bending?

[@deVOL.Kitchens]

We use a sliding dovetailed brace to construct the doors, which is a beautiful and extremely strong joint that negates the need for glue. Joints like this are rarely used in modern joinery and have been replaced by mechanical fixings and glue, but sometimes the old way is the best way!

They're quite thick in the middle and then slope down at each end. You can catch a glimpse of them at 0:44 or you can see a close up detail shot on this blog... www.devolkitchens.co.uk/blog/introducing-the-sebastian-cox-kitchen-by-devol
