This is a solid hardwood cabinet I built for my outdoor kitchen. There isn’t one piece of plywood or veneer in this. Measures 6’6×3′ and weighs about 600 lbs. The top, drawer insides and cabinet slats are teak. The framework, drawer fronts and door frames are melina. I’m thinking about changing the drawer fronts to teak for better contrast

MicroJig Grr-ripper2 Go
Introducing the Grr-ripper2 Go from Microjig! This innovative tool protects your hands and fingers from cuts and injuries while working with the table saw.
This saw is nearly identical to the TSC 55 REB, with two main upgrades. The first is a thinner blade that cuts quicker and extends battery life up to 40%, according to Festool. The second is the headline-grabber: an anti-kickback device that replaces the riving knife. The KEB is compatible with older Festool tracks and batteries. You can buy just the bare tool, the tool with the batteries, or the tool with the batteries and a 55-in. track.
A digital readout on the AccuMarking gauge measures to the nearest 0.0005 in. It can also be set to fractions or millimeters. Lacking a micro-adjust, however, it took a steady hand to dial in exact dimensions on the sensitive readout. The cutting disk needed considerable work to correct a rounded-over edge, but once sharpened, it cut well.
In my humble opinion, you should keep the drawers like this, because it might be loud on the eyes, perhaps, maybe add inlays or decoration if you want to add some spice to the drawers. But I can't see in your head, your idea might be great also.
I think you could go either way, but it is up to you. I do like it the way it is, and I'm not sure that the teak drawer fronts would look better.

Yes ,definitely change the drawer fronts. Would give it a much more balanced look
i mean with the slatted doors it's only common sense the the look will be more solid and substantial .

I think those look good the way they are. I just replaced my wood kitchen cabinets, and they are the same color and finish as this. I love it.
What was the finish you used on these cabinets? How has it held up?
