Oak Recessed

Oak Recessed


I have solid oak cabinets. I want to punch out the middle and put in a glass panel.?

The style of the cabinet doors are cathedral. It is well made and the inset is recessed into the door. Can I get them out and would it be best to use a router or a saw?
I got an estimate from a woodworker guy and he wanted $500 to get it done for 18 cabinet doors. Is that reasonable?

Is he removing / reinstalling the doors the doors? Even if he isn't that does not sound too outrageous. $28 per door, it isn't a whole lot of work but it does require some degree of skill. If you are not confident you could do this yourself, than $500 seems a lot cheaper than new doors.
