[Strawbale] Natural, inexpensive kitchen cabinets

[Andrew Lund]

This might be considered a little off-topic, but there seems to be a lot of natural minded people on this list that may understand my dilemma...

We are in the finishing stages of our very natural home and are looking into our kitchen counter options. We are building on a shoe-string budget, and have steered clear of toxic materials such as chipboard and other off-gasing substances as much as possible up to this point. I'm really struggling to come up with an inexpensive alternative to  conventional cabinets and counters, though... The only green options I have found (such as wheatboard), are certainly not cheap... I've wondered if we could salvage some old cabinets cheaply and reface them, but odds are we'd never be able to piece our whole kitchen together...

So, any ideas? What do poor, natural-mined people do in our situation? :-)

Andrew
