Hello hello!

I have built a cabinet door for an overhead cupboard in an old-fashioned style from leftover spruce floorboards.
Unfortunately, the wood was a bit "warped," which means the door doesn't quite close tightly against the cupboard.
There is a gap in the upper left corner (or in the lower right corner.)

How can I straighten the door so that it becomes flat and closes tightly? :S

Best regards, /Magnus
 
  • Wooden cabinet door in vintage style, made from spruce flooring planks, showing a gap in the upper left or lower right corner.
Moisten the wood, tighten it in the "right" direction, or a bit more, let it dry.
That is, like when building a boat.

Thank you greenbay.
 
Thank you magnu, but that method wouldn't work for me because I want to keep the appearance. It should feel old-fashioned. A good idea here is to reinforce it from the inside with split studs. I think I should try that...
