Here is the "history"
of how The Inglenook
was constructed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please notice the density of the growth rings of
this Old Growth Redwood
|
|
I pre cure all of my wood depending on which region
of the Country it will "live"
|
|
Here the wood is rough cut and joined flat, then
planed to thickness
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
then each piece s ripped to dimension
|
|
and the horizontal piece are cut out of the same
board ..... because that's the right way to do it !
|
|
then each piece is cut to length
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the pieces are coped with the female end of the
shaped detail
|
|
then run through another shaper for the molded
detail .. the center rails and mullions are doweled with
Mahogany dowels that we make in the shop
|
|
Here is the door being glued up
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is the door .. glued up and cleaned ....... and
will now cure for at least 72 hrs
|
|
...... on to the sidelights
|
|
here is he Inglenook .. fresh out of clamps
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each vertical mullion is fitted for any slight
variation if the fir
|
|
If it fits tight when "dry" it will glue up right
!!
|
|
The I shape the molded edge to each mullion .....
here is one
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and here they are ....... out of clamps
|
|
here's Jasons daughter ....... out on a Saturday
....... to help dad glue up the panel stock
|
|
........ and drill some dowel holes ..... perfect
hieght !!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is a piece of the log that I resawn the figured
Redwood "thick" veneer
|
|
Each piece of curly Redwood is kept in a perfect
bookmatch
|
|
..... and is glue together edge to edge
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The pieces stay in the press for 3 days under a
vacuum of 25
|
|
Here the sidelights are trimmed to actual
size
|
|
I make each door 1/2 inch oversize the cut and joint
it to the exact dimension
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is the beveled glue-chip glass. It is also
tempered and thermal
|
|
Here the sidelights are hand sanded then machine
sanded on the faces
|
|
Here I have "signed" the door and I am mortising for
the 4" ball-bearing hinges
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And the oiling begins. Here is the first of 4
coats
|
|
Each coat of varnish oil will "cure" for 3 days,
before the next is applied
|
|
Here the hand sanding is completed on the entrance
door
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After spraying both sides .... we allow it to absorb
to 1-2 hrs before wiping off the excess varnish oil
|
|
and here the door will cure for 3 days before the
next coat of oil
|
|
We soak the Redwood stops in oil
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here I am machining the Curly Redwood
panels
|
|
Here are the panels waiting to be sanded
|
|
We even hand sand much of the details of each
panel
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
another view of the panels
|
|
these pieces of Curly Redwood are all book matches
...... all from the same tree
|
|
The panels cure for 3 days till the next coat of
varnish oil
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here the pieces are "rough cut" for the wood
stops
|
|
....... then each piece is hand marked and cut to
fit ..... 64 miters just for these 8 glass lights
!!
|
|
Then the wood stops are marked and cut for the
floating wood panels
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then all of he excess caulk is removed and allowed
to cure for 72 hrs
