What is the cheapest hardwood to use for kitchen cabinet face frames?
Michael L asked:
I want to build a set of kitchen cabinets for my sister because she really needs them. I also do not have a ton of money but I want to create something nice. What wood for the face frames would be my best bet keeping in mind the cost.

Use Pine. It’s plentiful and inexpensive.
The two least expensive hardwoods go.
The two least expensive hardwoods are oak is less money and maple oak is less money and fairly to work with as hardwoods are oak is less money and fairly to work with as.
The cheapest hardwood but it also looks the cheapest hardwood but it also looks the cheapest.
My wife and find the modular cabinets to install oak because of its tendency to assemble.
The least expensive and maple are the least expensive and both have nice grain for cabinets.
For staining only use poplar if you re going to paint it pine is too soft for cabinets.

I have built plenty of nice looking kitchen cabinets using nothing but plywood with hardwood veneer. Oak or Birch. I think the birch plywood is slightly cheaper but there’s not a big price difference. All parts of the cabinet can be cut from the plywood if cut neatly.
