Making raised panel kitchen cabinet doors, cope and stick with loose tenons, using finishing oil. Do I finish the panel first, glue up the panel and frame assembly, fit the door up, then finish the completed glued up door? I dont want panel shrinkage to expose unfinished parts of the panel if I assemple first then finish. Also, not sure if glue will stick to a finished board.

Please adise, thanks
