Cool a labour of love but worth it, are you using the wood for worktops too or just doors? Have you the means to make your own frames and centre panels?
If you want to create a modern look to a traditional shaker styled door go narrow with the frame (stile) 70mm is very much in vogue now examples would be kitchen stori, Aldana or OS Doors, painted Monroe, whereas more middle of the road Shakers use a 90mm stile such as Burbidge, Barnes or PWS, Mornington. Then you have the full on traditional cottage vibe that use 110mm stile Such as kitchen stori Clonmel or Burbidge Lansdowne. Decide the look you are after before committing to chopping up that lovely timber.
And remember it’s always the handle that sets the style of your kitchen. Using dried and whittled twigs can give a rustic handmade feel.
