I have named this door "The Dawn Redwood" It is constructed of Old Growth VG Redwood with fancy Oyster Shell Mahogany panels The glass is gold mirror bronze glass, thermal, and tempered It is 36" wide and 80" tall and 1-3/4" thick The "eyebrow" is bent laminated Mahogany

The glass appears as a gold mirror if there is more light in front of the glass		Here is a close-up of the "Oyster Shell" genuine Mahogany		The door framework is beautiful old growth vertical grain Redwood
The mid rail is curly Redwood and vertical piece is "bird's-eye" Redwood		The "eyebrow" is projected off the door face as an elegant design element		Who's that fellow in the window ??

Below is the history of how this door was made

The wood moisture is checked ..... and made sure it's dry ... but not to dry		Here the pieces are laid out before machining		... after machining .... the pieces are dry fitted before glue up		and the "build" begins. Each piece is pre glued 3 times
heres my "baby" in clams .... and all of the excess glue is removed		.... yup .... we take a tooth brush and water to the corners and them blow them dry with an air nozzle		Here the door will stay under clamps for at least 72 hrs		then the sanding and trimming takes place
The the door is oiled with my varnish-oil ...... 4 times before the panels and glass is added .... oiled from the inside out.		The door cures at least 48 hrs between coats		Here I am laminating the Mahogany "eyebrow" on its' form		whadya thin .. for fit ??
Here it is attached on Mahogany Pins		Here are the "oyster shell" Mahogany panels being oiled		... and curing between coats of varnish-oil		the "floating" panels are bedded in a special caulk
