Kerf Designs Plywood Cabinetry with Exposed Edge Details

In reading through a recent edition of Dwell magazine I found this company that makes custom cabinetry with exposed plywood edges that I think look so cool!
I’ve always like the look of California and Australian beach shacks, and also cabinetry that looks like the homeowner built the cabinets themselves out of whatever material they had on hand. I think the cabinets also have a great mid century modern kind of look.

rockies63,
I really like the look too, and stopped edge-banding plywood a few years ago. The other thing I have been experimenting with is making birch plywood countertops, by laminating two sheets together and routing the edges. This is a small one in our kitchen.
I like exposed plywood edge countertops too. People always say that laminate counters look cheap but I think that's because everyone has only seen the rolled form versions at the big box stores. A flat sheet of laminate on top of a built up birch plywood base can look great.
rockies63,
I agree. Laminate has a bad name now. Maybe because it is associated with cheap kitchens? Just fashion? I prefer it to hard surfaces like marble.
I remember the Kerf stuff from magazines some years back. Their exposed joinery details are pretty cool too, not just the exposed edges...
