Drawer Side Material, 1/2" Groove, 1/2" Thick, 10" x 96", Maple

Drawer Side Material Maple For Custom Builds

drawer side material maple from Genesis gives you a prefinished maple option for building drawer boxes without milling raw stock, which streamlines drawer construction on both shop runs and one-off projects. These drawer side blanks use veneer plywood construction, which provides a wood-based structure ready for machining and assembly in typical woodworking setups. Each blank measures 10 inches high by 96 inches long, so it supports tall drawer designs and longer runs that can be cut down to multiple parts from a single piece. The material thickness is 1/2 inch, which suits drawer applications where that side thickness is part of the design and hardware layout. Genesis drawer blank systems are supplied as wood blanks that are ready to assemble, so the focus can stay on cutting, joinery, and slide layout instead of surface prep. All wood blanks are pre-finished with an Endura ultra violet cured top coat, providing a factory-applied finish that removes the separate finishing step on the interior faces of the drawer sides.

Key Drawer Blank Details For Shop Efficiency

• Blank lengths are 8 feet, so each 96 inch maple drawer side blank can be ripped and crosscut into multiple sides or fronts while keeping material from the same run for visual consistency.
• All drawer blanks have a 1/4 inch drawer bottom dado, which provides a pre-machined groove for fitting a 1/4 inch drawer bottom panel and removes the need to cut that dado on separate equipment.
• The blanks have a 1/2 inch, or 13 mm, bottom reveal designed for undermount slides, so the lower edge dimension is set up to coordinate with typical undermount drawer slide layouts that expect that reveal.
• All wood blanks are pre-finished with Endura ultra violet cured top coat, so the surface arrives with a cured finish that is ready for cabinet interior service without additional clear-coat steps.
• These Genesis drawer side blanks are classified as drawer construction systems and drawer side blanks, which positions them as core components for building new drawers or setting up repeatable drawer box production.

Installation-Oriented Drawer Side Layout Details

Genesis drawer side blanks use a 1/2 inch groove configuration described as a 1/4 inch drawer bottom dado with a 1/2 inch bottom reveal, which means the groove location and the lower edge dimension are already coordinated for undermount slide applications. The 1/2 inch overall thickness of the maple drawer side material works with drawer designs that call for that side thickness in relation to hardware clearances and cabinet openings. The 10 inch height gives enough material for taller drawers or for cutting multiple narrow sides from one blank when working on smaller drawers. Because each blank is pre-finished with the Endura ultra violet cured top coat, the interior side surface is already sealed, so the drawer box can move directly from assembly to slide installation and cabinet fitup. Being ready to assemble as supplied means the blanks enter the workflow at the cutting and joinery stage, which is useful in shops focused on throughput.

Using Genesis Drawer Side Blanks In Projects

Where These Maple Drawer Side Blanks Fit Best

Genesis drawer construction systems in maple veneer plywood serve projects where a wood-based drawer box is desired along with a consistent, prefinished interior. The 10 inch by 96 inch size lets shops handle both deep storage drawers and standard-height drawers by cutting parts to length and, if desired, ripping to narrower heights from a common blank. The 1/4 inch drawer bottom dado built into every blank supports use with 1/4 inch bottoms where a captured panel is part of the drawer design. For undermount slide layouts, the 1/2 inch, or 13 mm, bottom reveal is designed around the needs of those slides, so the relationship between the drawer bottom and the slide position is already accounted for at the drawer side level. That design supports consistent drawer geometry from one cabinet run to the next, which is useful on multi-cabinet installations. Genesis also notes that other heights and species are available, along with complete assembled or unassembled drawers, which offers ways to match these blanks to different projects or outsource drawer box building when desired.

Details That Support Repeatable Drawer Results

The classification as drawer side blanks within a broader drawer construction system means the Genesis maple pieces are intended as a standardized building block for drawers, which helps maintain uniform dimensions and layouts across multiple boxes. Using veneer plywood construction gives a stable, layered wood structure for machining the 1/4 inch bottom dado and maintaining that groove position along the 96 inch length. The pre-finished Endura ultra violet cured top coat provides a consistently cured surface on every blank, which supports repeatable appearance and similar surface behavior whenever drawers are installed side by side. The 1/2 inch thickness, combined with the dedicated 1/2 inch bottom reveal designed for undermount slides, keeps the lower profile of the drawer predictable in relation to common slide systems that expect that reveal. Having the 10 inch height and 8 foot length as standard means cut lists can be based on known stock size, so layout, yield calculations, and repetitive cutting setups become more straightforward when building several drawers from the same batch of Genesis blanks in maple.
