V Shaker
Through-section
The V Shaker reworks our classic recessed-panel shaker with a chamfered surround. Instead of a plain square shoulder, the margin around the panel steps down 2mm, runs a shallow bevel cut with a 150° tool, then steps down again to the recessed field — a crisp, defined shadow line that catches the light like traditional hand-run joinery.
Like the rest of the range it's machined from a single sheet of moisture-resistant high-density MDF rather than framed from five pieces, so there are no mitre joints at the corners to crack or shadow through your paint. Set the rail and stile widths to suit the job; the chamfered surround and recessed field are profiled to your exact size.

Frequently asked questions
How is a V Shaker different from a standard shaker?
The margin around the panel. A standard shaker steps straight down to the recessed field with a square shoulder; the V Shaker steps down 2mm, runs a shallow bevel cut with a 150° tool, then steps down again. You get a defined, angled shadow line instead of a flat one.
Is the chamfer machined on the front or the back?
The front — it's a face detail, so the profile is cut into the face side and the back stays flat. That also means the hinge side and any back pocketing are unaffected by the profile choice.
Does the chamfered surround limit how small a door can be?
The surround needs enough rail and stile width to run in, so very narrow frames aren't practical on this style. The configurator won't let you set a combination it can't machine — it clamps the values and tells you why.
Are these made to measure?
Yes. Every door is CNC-machined one-piece from moisture-resistant MDF to your exact width and height — enter the size in the configurator and the price updates as you type.
How are they made?
From a single sheet of ultra-high-density MR MDF, so there are no mitred corner joints to open or shadow through your paint.
