      | 
         Here is the rough lumber to make 2 doors
       | 
      
         .. some tricks are used to make the small center
         rail
       | 
      
         Here, I have all the pieces fitted..............
         then the door is glued up and cures for 3 full days
       | 
      
         We then surface sand it and then hand finish sand
         the entire door
       | 
   
   
      
          
         
       | 
      
         
       |

       | 
      
          
       | 
   
   
      | 
         Since the door is heavy Mahogany, I joint the edges
         with a power plane rather then a jointer
       | 
      
         when it's ready ...... I leave my signature
       | 
      
         The makers "mark"
       | 
      
         Here is the door frame oiled with 4 coats of varnish
         oil and waiting for glass and panels
       | 
   
   
      
          
         
       |

       | 
      
          
       | 
   
   
      | 
         The panels are marine grade ply, edged with solid
         lumber .....
       | 
      
         ..... then I vacuum press on the figured and
         bookmatched Striated Fir
       | 
      
         The "thick" veneer is 5/16" on each side and then
         raised with a chamfer detail
       | 
      
         Before we oil the panels
