An Important Note: All of the door (framework) came from One Old Growth Redwood Tree. When I acquired this lumber, 4 or 5 years ago, I marked the end of each board with the green dot on each board so that I would remember this tree. The wood is Amazing with a gentle "cloud" of figure in each board.
I resawed this board to make the arched top for the jambs		we sawed them down to about 5/16"		then sanded them
and glued them back up in the arch of the door		here is the door laid up and ready to glue up		we clean all the joints while it is freshly glued up
Here I am making a template off of the head stock of the jamb		I took that template and cut the door to match the template		I mated the top of the door to the template, exactly
After sanding the door will be oiled 4 times with our varnish oil				Here is the "cloud" figure that is in this beautiful wood
		All of the wood came from the same tree
such rich grain just compliment the doors' design		here the curly Redwood panels are beginning their life in my vacuum press		and here they come to life with 4 coats of varnish oil
here is the glass before it is installed		it is dual pain for insulation		Here I'm gapping the top of the door while I was pre-hanging the door
It is a perfect fit		I add a Mahogany dowel for alignment to assemble the jambs		we pre fit and cut each stop
the glass is "bedded" with a siliconized latex		and the stops are set in place		and then the dentil-shelf is added
