About This Service

A Kitchen Built the Slow Way

We don't order kitchen boxes from a catalog and screw your choice of door on front. Our woodworking shop cuts, joins and sands every cabinet from solid hardwood — white oak, maple, cherry or walnut — so the grain runs the way the tree actually grew, not the way a laminate print fakes it.

Drawer boxes get hand-cut dovetail joinery, not staples. Face frames go together with mortise-and-tenon joints where it matters. Then every piece passes through a hand-sprayed finish booth before it leaves the shop. That's artisan kitchen woodworking the way it used to be done — the Hardwood Manufacturers Association publishes grading standards for hardwood exactly like this, and we build to that bar on every single cabinet.

What's Included

Every Custom Wood Kitchen Project Comes With This.

Dovetailed Drawer Joinery

Every drawer box is hand-cut and dovetailed in our Indianapolis woodworking shop — no staples, no butt joints that work loose in a few years.

Solid Hardwood Doors & Frames

White oak, maple, cherry and walnut doors, milled and sanded in-house — no MDF cores hiding under a printed wrap.

Mortise-and-Tenon Face Frames

Traditional handcrafted cabinet joinery holds frames square for decades, long after a stapled frame starts to rack.

Hand-Sprayed, Hand-Rubbed Finish

Stains and lacquers go on in a dust-free booth, then get hand-rubbed to bring out the grain in every piece of hardwood kitchen woodwork we build.

Grain-Matched Panels

We book-match door and panel grain across a full run of cabinets, so the kitchen reads as one continuous piece of solid wood cabinetry.

Custom Wood Kitchen Storage

Pull-out trash, spice towers and appliance garages are built into the wood itself, not bolted on as an afterthought.

Craftsmanship in Detail

Every Joint Tells on the Builder.

Pull open a drawer in a Rines Design kitchen and look at the corners — you'll see dovetails, not staples. Run a hand down a door edge and you'll feel a hand-sanded roundover, not a machine-stamped profile. Twenty-plus years in since 2004, our Indianapolis woodworking shop still cuts every joint the way a cabinetmaker should, because that's the difference between furniture and a box with a door screwed on.

Frequently Asked

Questions, Answered.

Don't see your question? We'd love to talk it through over a free in-home consultation.

Ask Us Directly
What wood species do you use for kitchen cabinets?

White oak, maple, cherry and walnut are our most-built species for custom wood kitchen cabinets. Each one takes stain and paint differently, so we bring real samples to your home before you choose.

Is dovetail drawer joinery really worth it?

Yes. A dovetailed drawer box spreads the load across interlocking joints instead of a few staples, so it holds up to daily use for decades instead of a handful of years.

What does a custom wood kitchen cost?

Most solid wood cabinetry projects start around $25,000 and scale with wood species, cabinet count and finish complexity. We walk through real, transparent numbers at your free in-home consultation.

Can you match new cabinetry to my existing wood trim?

Yes — we color-match stains and paints in our spray booth so new cabinetry blends into the wood trim already in your home.
