CP&W: Rail and Stile Profiles
 Frame and panel construction (also called
"rail and stile") is a woodworking
technique often used in the making of cabinet
doors, wainscoting, and other decorative
features for cabinets, furniture, and homes.
Frame and panel construction at its most
basic consists of five members: the panel
and the four members which make up the frame.
The vertical members of the frame are called
stiles while the horizontal members are known
as rails. A basic frame and panel item consists
of a top rail, a bottom rail, two stiles,
and a panel. This is a common method of constructing
cabinet doors and these are often referred
to as a 5-piece cabinet door.
