The Hidden Cost of Choosing the Wrong Materials

At Solle Solutions, we believe that true custom cabinetry starts long before installation—it begins with how we select, process, and shape raw materials in-house.

In this behind-the-scenes look from our shop, we’re showing you exactly how we slice solid wood for high-end cabinetry and why doing it ourselves—without outsourcing—makes a major difference in quality, consistency, and final results.

If you’re searching for custom cabinets in Austin, Texas, here’s what separates our process from the rest.


Why Solid Wood Preparation Matters in Custom Cabinetry

Many cabinet shops rely on pre-cut materials or outsourced components. At Solle Solutions, we do it differently.

We take raw lumber and prepare it ourselves because:

  • It gives us full control over quality

  • We can custom-size every component

  • We reduce material waste

  • And we ensure a perfect fit for every project

When we slice solid wood, we’re not just cutting boards—we’re building the foundation for a long-lasting, high-end custom cabinet system.


Inside Our In-House Process

In this episode (Video below), we demonstrate how we take solid wood stock that’s slightly oversized and mill it down to the exact dimensions needed for a project.

This is part of our all in-house workflow, which includes:

  • Custom design

  • Drafting and measurements

  • Material prep and milling

  • CNC machining

  • Assembly and finishing

  • Final installation

Everything is done under one roof in our shop.

That means when you hire Solle, you’re not dealing with a middleman—you’re working directly with the team that is designing, building, and installing your cabinets.


Precision Milling for Perfect Fit

The wood we used in this demonstration was intentionally wider than needed. This allowed us to show how we:

  1. Measure and evaluate each board

  2. Trim it to exact specifications

  3. Prepare it for joinery and installation

Precision at this stage is critical. If the wood isn’t milled properly, it can cause issues later during assembly or installation.

Because we do this work ourselves, we can guarantee tight joints, clean lines, and a professional finish in every project.


Built for Austin Homes (and Beyond)

Whether we’re building for a modern home in Austin, a rustic Hill Country space, or a high-end custom interior in Montreal, our process stays the same:

Quality materials. In-house craftsmanship. No shortcuts.

When you work with Solle Solutions, you’re getting cabinets that are:

  • Built specifically for your space

  • Designed with your lifestyle in mind

  • Crafted with precision from start to finish
