What farmer's sink will fit Kvadrat beech?

When I designed our kitchen in 2001, I also designed the counter and sink to be custom made out of Fireslate. The sink is deteriorating and I want to replace it with a more conventional farmers sink. My problem is:

A) I've got Kvadrat Beech doors (now obsolete)

B) The sink cabinet is 30" wide with only 6 1/4" from the top of the carcass to the underside of the countertop. I can't find a 30" wide, under-mount style, apron-front (farmers) sink that is only 6 1/4" deep. If I change out the cabinet carcass to allow a conventional 8-10" deep sink, what do I do about getting shorter Kvadrat Beech doors? Or, are there shallow sinks out there that IKEA had in mind?

I've attached a picture taken soon after I installed it all (like my custom shelf next to the stove

Re: What farmers sink will fit Kvadrat 30"?

Hi TikiMark, and welcome to IKEAFans!

I know at least one other member has Kvadrat beech doors, so maybe they will know of sources for you, or have ideas of other doors that could be used, if it comes to that.

Hmmm...I know this thread is going to get more attention elsewhere, so I am going to move it for you. Hold on tight, this won't take a second!

Edited to add: I've moved you to Kitchen Elements. This may be your best place for sink advice. BTW, I love the custom shelf, and the countertops are fabulous!
