Slab drawer front, 15"x36" -- stability?

Especially in the summer this is the most humid time, your wood will typically shrink during the dryer winter (depending where you live) and wood will easily expand 1/8" depending on the species. You should look up the expansion coefficient. Google "how to calculate wood shrinkage and expansion".

Is this a false drawer front? If you stabilize the wood against MDF or plywood this will prevent a lot of the warping.

5 piece top drawer or no?
Consider your hardware choice, center panel style (i.e. reversed raised or raised) any interior rail routing/detail. Slabtop is best for cup and low profile pulls. I design with top dwr fronts at 7-1/4" on a 5-3/8" op and 4" dbx. So if you're going with knobs or standard bar pulls, 5pc is just fine in most cases. Slabtop is usually reserved for raised panel selections as the center profile is too narrow to accept hardware. Even then, I am still specifying a 5pc just with a flat center panel.

How to front short (4") drawer

Very often, shaker style cabinets will just have a flat 3/4” face for smaller drawer faces. I’m sure someone else will offer some good suggestions too though.

r/woodworking on Reddit: Slab drawer fronts: HDF or solid wood?
June 6, 2023 -

Soon I'll be making drawer fronts for our kitchen cabinets. My wife wants simple slab drawer fronts, square edges (no edge profile), inset with the face frame, all painted. I'm debating between HDF or solid wood (poplar or maple) for the drawer fronts.

As far as I can tell: Solid wood pros: less risk if exposed to water; more durable, takes paint well. Solid wood cons: more expensive, more work to joint/plane/surface. HDF pros: cheaper, no surfacing, takes paint well. HDF cons: possible risk if exposed to water, maybe not as durable/more likely to dent/chip.

I've never worked with HDF; is it noticeably more durable than MDF?

Because we're planning to paint, I think the main question comes down to: is painted hardwood that much more durable/water resistant than painted HDF?

Note: we have two young kids, and a third on the way, so

Bonus question: is there any merit in considering HDF for the face frame as well as the drawer fronts?
