Working on kitchen cabinet bids right now. What is the wood of choice for painted cabinets? One guy is telling me poplar and another maple. Can anyone offer advice?

Poplar is what I see and use in painted cabinets.

Depends on what customer wants. But I'd go Birch & Basswood for paint.....

Don't really matter. May be difference in price though.

I agree. Material isn’t as important as construction.

We rarely ever use Poplar anymore. We did do a decent size job last year in Poplar (Customer Provided Wood) and it turned out really nice, it was a natural job. I like Natural or Stain i hate painted Cabinets lol

Buddy of mine used mahogany in his trailer. Up against FRP siding, it’s hard to beat the look.

The cabinets I’ve built were popular if painted and oak if not.

FYI, red oak will soak up some paint.

Oak , especially red is heavy grained . Clear , cabinet grade oak , especially white, is mighty expensive wood to cover up with paint. I'd lean toward properly dried and stabilized Cabinet grade poplar.

Poplar and maple are good choices for painted cabinets because they will show little to no grain and paint nice and smooth. They also are less prone to shrinkage than pine, which I would not use for painted. Definitely don't use oak for painted as the grain will be prominent.

pine has alot of knots in it and they will seep resin out slowly showing thru the paint. as long as its a hardwood it doesnt really matter its gonna be painted poplar or maple are good skim them over with gap filler if needed, sand, prime, sand and spray with lacquer they will look amazing

True. But most Custom Cabinet Shops still prefer to use MDF for Door Panels and finished ends when being painted...

Bulls Eye Shellac will help prevent that.

the color may not bleed thru but the texture will show under the paint eventually
