    There’s something about real wood that just feels right. Whether you’re giving your kitchen a fresh start or finishing a bathroom project, solid wood is a tried-and-true investment. 

    At Eagle, we combine hands-on craftsmanship with precise machines to make cabinet doors that look great and last. Every cabinet door is custom-built to fit your project, so you get exactly what you need.

    We start with kiln-dried lumber, making the doors stable and solid. Then, we sand everything to a clean finish so it arrives ready for paint or stain. With plenty of wood types and style options available, you get exactly what you need.  

  • Why Choose Wood Cabinet Doors

    Wood cabinet doors are an investment in your home, as solid wood adds warmth, texture, and real value to a space that alternatives just cannot copy. Unlike RTF or laminate, wood is a durable material that can be repaired or refinished if it gets damaged. Wood also holds up better structurally. Screws for hinges grip tightly in solid wood, so your doors hang correctly and don't shift.

    Another benefit is that wood cabinet doors work in any room. They can handle the daily traffic of busy kitchens and bathrooms or create incredible built-ins. And the choices!

    White oak cabinet doors have a visible grain, while walnut cabinet doors have a deeper tone. Maple cabinet doors have a cleaner finish, and paint-grade options give you flexibility. Wood fits with most design approaches and holds its value.

    The right finish protects your cabinetry and defines the final look. Because we sand every door to a high standard, they arrive ready for whatever application you choose. 

    • Clear Coats: A clear coat seals the wood without hiding it. This is the best choice for high-quality species like walnut or white oak, where you want the natural grain to show.
    • Stains: Staining lets you change the color and tone of the wood while keeping the grain texture visible.
    • Paint: For a solid color, Paint Grade Maple is our standard option. It provides a smooth, stable surface for professional painting.

    We offer priming, which saves time on the finishing process for painted doors.

  • What to Consider Before Buying Wood Cabinet Doors
  • What to Consider Before Buying Wood Cabinet Doors 

    While solid wood is a superior material, you need to know how it behaves before you buy. Wood is a natural product that reacts to its environment. 

    In high humidity, wood expands; in dry air, it shrinks. This is why we use 5-piece construction: it allows the center panel to move slightly, so the door doesn't crack. We use kiln-dried lumber to minimize this movement, but maintaining stable humidity in your home is still the best step to ensure durability. We also use MDF center panels as our default for paint-grade applications, which do not react to humidity changes like wood, thus reducing the potential for paint cracking over time.

    You should also think about wear and location. Hardwoods are tough, but they can still dent or scratch if hit hard. Kitchens see a lot of traffic, so harder species like maple or oak are often better choices for these high-use areas. 

    Finally, consider sunlight. Natural wood colors shift over time when exposed to UV rays. Cherry tends to darken, while walnut can lighten.

    Deciding between materials often comes down to the finish. Solid wood is the standard for staining. It offers the weight and quality that define custom work. However, for painted cabinet doors, using a MDF center panel with 5-piece wood doors or 1-piece or 2-piece MDF doors is often the better solution. MDF is an engineered material that is stable and does not move with humidity. This prevents paint cracks at the joints, a common issue with solid wood in the industry.

What wood types are available for wood cabinet doors?

We stock maple (paint-grade and standard) and white oak at a standard 3/4" thickness.

  • White Oak: Known for its density and strong grain pattern, this is a durable choice for a textured, stained look.
  • Maple: We stock both Paint-Grade and Standard Maple. It has a fine, uniform texture that provides a smooth base for paint or consistent staining.

Requests for other wood types or thicknesses are available, but may extend lead times.

Are your wood cabinet doors made using cope and stick or mitered joints?

Most of our doors are cope and stick doors. The Bar Harbor slim shaker is the only mitered door style we offer at this time.

Are the materials resistant to moisture, warping, or cracking?

Our wood doors are crafted from high-quality, kiln-dried materials to minimize moisture absorption and ensure long-term durability. 

For more details visit or cabinet door specifications and tolerances page. 

Are your cabinet doors available online?

What are the main style options for wood cabinet doors (e.g., shaker, raised panel, slab), and which suits my kitchen or bathroom best?

The two main style options we build are Flat Panel (including Shaker) and Raised Panel. Shaker cabinet doors have a simple, flat center panel. They are the most versatile choice and fit almost any design, from modern kitchens to farmhouse renovations. Raised Panel doors feature a contoured center panel that adds depth. These work best in traditional homes or bathrooms where you want a classic, detailed look.

Are solid wood cabinet doors better than wood veneer or MDF?

It depends on the finish and your budget. Solid wood is the premium choice for staining because it offers long-term value; if it gets damaged, you can repair it. Veneer is just a thin layer over a core, so deep scratches are hard to fix, but it significantly reduces the price of the door while still maintaining the same look. For painted cabinetry, MDF is often a smarter choice than wood. MDF is stable and does not expand or contract with humidity, which prevents paint cracking. For project budget planning, use MDF for painted parts to save money, and invest in solid wood where you want the grain to show.

What are the pros and cons of wood cabinet doors?

Solid wood is a timeless classic that offers unmatched beauty and strength, but it also has its own quirks to consider.

Pros of Wood Cabinet Doors:

  • It’s incredibly strong: Solid wood is durable and holds screws and hinges tighter than almost any other material, so it can withstand heavy daily use.
  • It’s forgiving and repairable: One of the best things about real wood is that if you dent or scratch it, you can simply sand it down and refinish it to look brand new again.
  • The look is unbeatable: the natural grain adds warmth and character, often boosting your home's resale value.

Cons of Wood Cabinet Doors:

  • It "breathes" and moves: Because it is a natural material, wood expands and contracts with the seasons. This means you might see small gaps appear at the joints. This risk is heavily reduced by using MDF center panels with painted wood doors.
  • It’s a bit high-maintenance: To keep the wood happy and prevent warping, you really need to keep the humidity levels in your home consistent year-round.
  • It’s an investment: You are paying for that natural durability and organic look, so the upfront cost is generally higher than MDF or veneer options.
