Dovetail Drawer Boxes

– Fryburg Door offers boxes assembled or unassembled (see Dovetail pricing)

  • We encourage you to buy our dovetail boxes assembled. Our CNC dovetail machines create very snug joints that are difficult to knock together.

– Fryburg Door produces drawers out of: Sap Red Oak, Sap Cherry, Brown Soft Maple, Soft Maple, and Poplar. (Other species available on request.)

  • All drawer material contains glue lines and has no color spec.
  • Sap Red Oak – can contain sapwood, heartwood, mineral streaks, and general color variation consistent with the specie
  • Sap Cherry – can contain sapwood, heartwood, gum, pith, and general color variation consistent with the specie
  • Brown Soft Maple- can contain sapwood, heartwood, curly grain, tiger grain, dark streaks, and hairline cracks within the heartwood, on occasion
  • Soft Maple- can contain sapwood, curly grain, tiger grain, and occasionally burls. More consistent in color than brown soft maple, but yet has general color variations consistent with the specie
  • Poplar- can contain white to green colors, minimal black and purple

– All drawer boxes can have tight sound knots, cracks, and other grading defects on the backside of the back and the front side of the front of your product. These defects will not come through to show on the inside of your box and will always be sound where they persist.
