Marking the door for the bow shape that will be cut.		Marking the door for the bow shape that will be cut.
		Brian is hand shaping the curved top rail.		He uses many hand tools as well as his machines.
		We even use clamps in the fitting of the door.
The cutting of the bow has begun.		Brian show's great attention to detail.		Even in this day and age of many machine's, Brian still find's quite often that hand tool's are the only way to get just the right angle or fit that he is looking for.
The complexity of this door show's in the design.				Just about ready to make the final fit.
Here we are gluing up the door		The cleaning up of the door after gluing is very important too.		Here are the templets for the door.
All glued up and cured after sitting for 72 hour's.		Book matched panels to be used in the panels of this door.		Gluing up of the panels.
Trimming off the glue from the cured panels.		We thought the look of the dried glue was worth a photo.		Here I am machine hand sanding the door flat before getting into the fine detail sanding.
What a beautiful tight fit. Brian always amazes me at his skill's in making a door.		His choice of wood's, the pattern's in the wood are astonishing.		Here I begin the hand sanding, a very time consuming task.
		Machining the edge of the panel.		Trimming off a dowle.
So Beautiful and just about ready to be oiled.		Look at the beautiful grain in this door		Here I am going back over the panels with a 3rd and final finer grit of paper.
Hand sanding the edge's of the panel.		The oiling process has started.		Under the Canopy of The Redwoods!
After each oiling the panels hang to dry for 3 days.		Here process of making the Eyebrow begins.		This is like a press to bend and curve the wood into the shape of the Eyebrow.
I believe we have achieved the curve we were looking for.				The door is ready for it's first oiling.
Wow! Look at how the rays in this door shine.		Here the door will hang for 3 day's before being oiled again. That process will repeat itself for 3 more time's.		Boring for the hinges.
Looks great!		These hinges fit just right.		Brian is branding the door. We have had some clients who have asked for the brand to be on the side without hinges so it could be seen.
Steaming stop's to get the curve necessary to fit the curve in the door.		Here the steamed stop's will be clamped in to dry.		Looks like a good curve to fit this lovely
Oiling the stops.		Drying the stops.		Putting in the pins.
Each pin is hand fitted		Time to fit the stops.		Very complex door, with all the angles involved.
The panels are being set in the door for a permeant fit.		Here Brian is getting ready to fit the Eyebrow on the door.		Tight fit Glen.
