These Beautiful Palms Interior Doors have booked matched panels. With striking design in the wood grain.

The tight grain in The Old Growth Redwood makes for a stunning look.

Here are the Master Bedroom Doors

Each door has it's own unique character. A Grand Entry to any room.

Ti's hard to give a description for each door. I find that each door has a story to tell. The tight grain, the ripples.

These doors will add beauty to each room and a piece of art work to adorn each room.

I believe each panel has a picture of it's own to show.

We have sat for many hours looking at doors and these doors are a true beauty to each of us that will have the honor to look at them.

The ribbon's in these panels are amazing.

A close-up look at one of the many panels.

Look at the corners, the beauty that each panel holds.

Below is the provenance of the creation of these doors.

Brain spends many hours just selecting the right wood for each door he makes.

He looks at every inch of each stick of lumber.

Making sure it has just the right quality that is required for his taste.

For a few days we had stacks of wood standing up everywhere.

Just lovely to behold. Each piece of wood has it's own Beauty to Behold. A true work of art from nature.

Looks like the process to shape and cut has begun.

What a beautiful photo of just plain raw wood.

The lumber for the interior doors is being laid out and matched up to each other.

Here in this photo you see all the lumber being selected for the interior door.

Getting ready to match up the lumber with the spec sheets.

Specs and drawings for each interior door.

In this photo you can see that each stack of wood is being matched up to it's drawing and specs.

Brian has cut this stack of wood which is to be shaped next.

This stack of door stock has been shaped and ready for the next step.

Here one of the doors is being laid out to be fitted.

This interior door too is being fitted before being glued up.

Yet another door being fitted before the gluing process begins.

The thick veneers for the panels are just about ready to be made into beautiful panels.

Here we have started gluing up the door's.

And another............ And another..........till they are all done.

Here the corners are being cleaned to get every drop of glue off.

All the interior doors are glued up.

They will sit for 72 hours before they will be ready to sand.

This door is out of clamps and ready to sand.

The task of making the panel stock has begun.

and more panel stock..........

..... and yet some more panel stock is being glued up.

Here the thick Old Growth Redwood veneers are being glued up.

Still more to go...........Yipes!

Here the Thick Old Growth Redwood Veneers are being cut.

Each panel is marked as Brian has booked marked them.

More panel stock. Brian has spent years collecting just the right Old Growth Redwood with tight grain and the different beautiful character that each piece has.

Heels and mid rails are being cut and gathered for the interior doors.

And more heels and mid rails.

One door is being sanded.

Look at the tight grain in the wood.

Salvaged Redwood is a rare find and a special treat for those who have a love for the Beauty that it holds.

The hand sanding process will take many hours for this project.

Many doors will to be hand sanded and each one will get the same amount of attention.

Here is the beginnings of the thick veneers to be cut for the panels.

Here Brian is branding one of the doors.

From a raw piece of wood like this it will soon be a sunning piece of art work.

Here the veneers are being glued up.

More thick veneers are ready.

These veneers are out of clamps and ready for the panel stock.

This is a slab of Old Growth Redwood that was used to resaw some thick veneers out of.



These Thick Veneer Panel's have been run through the Dimensional sander.	Here the Thick Veneer's are coming out of the dimensional sander.	The panels are out of the press and are being cleaned up of any access glue.


Now all the panels are being run through the dimensional sander.	What a stack of panels!	Here the panels are coming out of the dimensional sander.


In this photo the panels are being trimmed.	The panels are being cut to just the right size.


Hand sanding the panels has begun and many to do.	Machine hand sanding the panels too.	The first of the panels are being oiled.


Once the oil hits the panels the curl in the wood really stands out.	What a beautiful ribbon in these panels.	All our door's, panels, jambs, carvings, etc. are oiled under the Redwood Canopy.


In this photo you can see that some of the interior doors are narrow enough to be run through the dimensional sander.	What a stack of doors.	Here the panels will hang for three days before they will be oiled again.


	Here guys are running door's through the dimensional sander.


These door's are ready to be oiled.	Brian is Branding the door.	Some of our customers have asked to have the brand on the side of the door that opens so people can see the brand.


Ready for the first oiling.	Look at the beautiful texture in the wood coming out on this door.	We had doors everywhere for a few weeks.


Just about there.	Just beautiful!!!	Getting stop stock ready.


Many sticks of stop stock was needed for this project.	Matching up the stop stock is just as important as matching up the wood for the panels or the door.	Raise applied molding was used in these.


These stops are ready to be installed.	Another nice corner and fit.	Laying out the stops.


That's a tight corner. Just to look at these corners is to look at true craftsmanship.	Marking for the cut in the stop.	Nice fit!
