Below is the provenance of the creation of these doors
and all of the vertical stiles came from the same wood.		Here is the wood ready to be machined.		Here is the wood after being planed.
Here are the doors glued up,where they will remain for 72 hours.				The first step after clamps,is to dimensional sand each door.
Now they are ready for hand finishing		Hand sanding the detail on each door.		Here are the panel blanks being edged glued.
Here are upper panels blanks being edge glued.		Here we surface the edging and the ends.
Here are the Redwood ends.				All of the panels are end glued.
		We then vacuum press bookmatched thick veneers.		After 3 days in the press we start to finish each panel.
Here we hand sand each bevel.		and machine sand each rebate.		After 2 days of work the panels are ready to oil with 4 coats of our varnish oil.
and we hand sand each door detail to a furniture finish.		and sand all surfaces to a highly finished surface.		Here is the first of 4 oilings.
Here Zoey mortise's the door for hinges.		We used 3-1/2 inch bronze hinges for long lasting utility.
Deja vu		Here we signed each door proudly.		The panels are touched up for oiling.
Here are the lower panels just before oiling.		See how they come alive !		Amazing!
Here are upper panels ready to be oiled.		Look at that shine.		Here are the backs of the upper panels.

Looking up from oiling the doors..... this is what you see. We truly live in a Redwood forest.		Here are the panels ready to be installed in the doors.		Here are the doors ready for the panels.
		Each stop is hand fitted and cut.		and fitted to perfection.
and the process continues.		Here are the completed doors!		Each panel floats independently inside each frame.
		ALL of our Old Growth Redwood comes from salvaged wood and 100 year old "buckskins" that have laid out in the forest floor for 70 to 100 years. Since Redwood heartwood does not rot or remains unharmed by insects ....... then small independent sawyers haul out these logs and saw them into lumber ........ and we buy the best of the best !!
