Cabinet wood type

tombeaux

I have removed my Norcold 3-way and I’m installing the Isotherm C65 2-way. I need to add some cabinet. What wood was used on the 2017-2018 320S? Birch, maple, ash???

I would try Baltic Birch plywood and see if that matches your cabinets.

it is Baltic Birch plywood.  There are several manufacturers now but essentially Baltic Birch plywood and the like are just plywood panels with many more layers of ply than the standard original plywood.  You will still have to determine what stain to use to match the existing cabinets though.

Thank you, @falcon1970 and @Horigan! I have restained before, and got a good match. The new wood should be easy to source.

We used prefinished maple with several coats of poly for our replacement table and it matches reasonably well.

I have some water damage to my kitchen cabinets. Basically it's just the finish coming off the wood in a few places. I would like to sand them and refinish the damaged areas. Do you have the light finish, which I believe is standard of the 2018 T@B 320S cabinets and if so, what color and type or brand of stain did you use?

@ReenieG - Sorry for the delayed response. I’ve been out using our T@B! I used Minwax brand Natural 209 semi-transparent for the stain. Then I  covered with Minwax fast-drying polystyrene, warm satin finish. I was very happy with it. You can find my old thread on a counter replacement by searching Countertop Replacement on this forum. There are photos.

@tombeaux thank you 😊

Would you mind posting a photo of the cabinet? I'm contemplating the same mod, new refrigerator. And are you pleased with the isotherm?
