I call this door ...... The Prairie Style Door

It has Frank Lloyd Wright style stained glass.

It is ribbon grain Mahogany
36" x 80" x 1-3/4"
.
The panels are highly figured Striated Fir panels

Here is the History of how this door was made !!

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
