On Barker Modern only can the Italian laminates doors be used. We cannot offer them on the Barker Cabinets line. The laminate doors are particle board core or MDF, depending on which laminate colors are selected.

For the slab plywood doors on Barker Cabinets, this is a real wood veneer over plywood core. Note that we launched the Modern line to offer a more consistent color and grain tone matching. The real wood veneers can vary between one sheet to another, so grain and color tone may be a bit different on the order. We recommend using the Modern line for slab faced cabinets for this reason.

We do not offer any solid wood slab doors. They tend to warp, bow and break apart when the solid wood slab gets too large. Plywood is a much better and much more stable substrate.

All slab plywood doors will have a square edge, essentially like the second picture you provided. The first picture you uploaded is simply a wood sample we made some time ago to showcase grain and color tones. We do not offer solid wood slab doors, as they are difficult to work with and prone to failure over time.
