A direct way to make light weight cabinet doors and drawer fronts is to form a torsion box from 1/2” x 3/4” solid wood with thin decorative skins glued for the front and back. Finish theses as you please. Note, however, that the weight savings is seldom worth the effort. It is much easier and faster to make new doors and drawer fronts from solid wood or from pre finished man made materials. Use your old doors and drawer fronts as patterns. Work on saving weight elsewhere.
