Drawer Side Material, 1/2" Groove, 1/2" Thick, 6" x 96", Maple

Drawer Side Material Maple For New Drawers

drawer side material maple gives you a ready-to-assemble Genesis drawer blank built from veneer plywood, so you start with stable stock for consistent drawer construction. This drawer side blank is set up as part of the Genesis drawer blank systems, so it fits naturally into projects built around this construction method. The drawer side is 6 inches high and 96 inches long, so it works for standard-height drawers and lets you cut multiple parts from one length to streamline layout. The material is 1/2 inch thick, giving you a common drawer side thickness that works well with typical cabinet proportions. A 1/2 inch groove is already machined, so you do not have to cut this feature in a separate operation. The maple veneer surface provides a wood appearance suitable for cabinet interiors where visible drawer sides matter.

Key Genesis Drawer Side Details That Matter

• The veneer plywood construction provides a stable core, which helps drawers track consistently in normal cabinet environments.
• The 6 inch height gives a practical drawer side dimension, supporting many kitchen, bath, and shop drawer layouts.
• The 96 inch length allows multiple sides to be cut from one blank, helping maintain uniform grain direction across a run.
• The 1/2 inch thickness matches common cabinet drawer builds, which supports consistent joinery sizing with related components.
• The drawer side has a 1/2 inch groove, so the machined feature is ready for assemblies that require that interface.
• The maple veneer face presents a maple appearance, which suits projects matching maple cabinet interiors or fronts.

Installation-Oriented Drawer Side And Bottom Details

This Genesis drawer side blank is machined with a 1/4 inch drawer bottom dado, so drawer bottoms can seat into a defined channel rather than relying on additional cutting passes. The dado is built into the blank, which helps keep drawer bottom placement consistent from drawer to drawer when several units are built from the same run. A 1/2 inch, or 13 mm, bottom reveal is designed for undermount slides, so the relationship between the drawer bottom and the slide system is accounted for in the stock itself. That reveal helps the drawer bottom sit at a height suited to undermount hardware layouts that expect a defined space beneath the drawer box. With the blank pre-finished using the Endura ultra violet cured top coat, the drawer side arrives with its surface already sealed and coated.

Using Genesis Drawer Side Blanks In Projects

Where These Drawer Side Blanks Fit Best

Genesis drawer side blanks are part of a drawer construction system built for shops working with veneer plywood and maple interiors. The 6 inch by 96 inch format works for runs of medium-height drawers in kitchens, offices, and storage cabinetry where repeated side lengths are needed. Because the blanks are 1/2 inch thick maple veneer plywood, they fit projects expecting that thickness in the cabinet design, so layout lines and opening sizes can follow that dimension. The factory-machined 1/4 inch drawer bottom dado keeps drawer bottoms referenced at a consistent height across multiple drawers in the same cabinet line. The 1/2 inch, or 13 mm, bottom reveal for undermount slides means the drawer side is prepared for undermount slide arrangements that use this reveal, helping coordinate the relationship between drawer box and slide.

Details That Support Repeatable Drawer Results

The Endura ultra violet cured top coat provides a pre-finished surface on the wood blanks, so the coating is applied at the manufacturing stage rather than in the shop. That uniform finish supports a consistent appearance from drawer to drawer while also reducing handling steps related to coating. The square edge profile on the blanks gives a clean, straight edge to reference against fences and stops, which helps keep cuts and joinery layouts repeatable when processing several pieces from a single 96 inch length. Because the blanks are described as ready to assemble, the machining for the drawer bottom dado and the 1/2 inch groove is already prepared for assembly workflows that rely on those interfaces. Blank lengths are 8 feet, which aligns with common shop equipment and makes it practical to process several drawer sides in sequence without changing stock. Genesis all wood blanks are presented as drawer blanks within a system, so using them keeps dimensions, machining, and finish consistent across a series of drawers built around the same standard.
