Custom Oak Corner TV Stand

I hope those doors stay flat for you.

they won't stay flat, not that wide, the reliefs in the front will ensure that.. you did plug them well but I don't see a good reason why that top couldn't have been secured from the underside with expansion friendly clips. Why did you cap the shelf on the side with more solidwood?

Love ya man, I can tell you have talent, but in the future never use a solid piece of wood for a door. I know it looks good with the grain match but it never works. The grooves in the front will only make it that much worse.Solid doors should be glued up in pieces no more than 3" wide. Also there is nothing wrong with using a good plywood for parts of your cabinetry. Structurally it is much more stabile than solid wood.
We all have probably made the same mistakes. Woodworking is a lifelong learning experience and this forum is a good place to see what works and what doesn't.
Go ahead and start on a couple of new doors.

Understand all of the concerns and I have enough experience to know what you say is true; BUT, That big board had stayed flat for 6 months on the rack, and the other half of it is still flat. Also, I did rip and re-glue to eliminate some of the stress. So far there has been no problem with the doors. Will they bow in the future? Who knows. I have had more trouble with 10" wide jewelry box lids warping than 24" solid tops so size doesn't matter. Not trying to be defensive, just adding my comments. Thanks guys!

Darren,

Did you flip the boards when you ripped them down so that the growth rings are alternated? I don't think much "stress" will be released if you just cut them and put them right back together as they were.

Just because they were stable in your shop doesn't mean they will stay flat in the future. I would seriously doubt a door that wide will stay flat over an extended period of time in most any condition. The reliefs in the front will aid in it cupping and bowing as you basically added reliefs stress wise for the wood to cup up.

Size does matter, but wood will warp a heck of a lot more the wider you go. There are many variables but I would say if the home where it is going is drastically different temp/humidity wise you will see problems right away. Be weary, its one thing to do this for yourself or a friend/favor job but selling that type of door is like shooting yourself in the foot, you will rebuild it again later.
