Many folks visit my “work in progress” page to see what I working on and what it takes to make a custom made door ............ so I thought I’d share some pictures of the current “traffic jamb” in the shop right now. I have some doors completed and ready to ship out or to be picked up. There are also some doors in progress along with some “self-commissioned” doors. The “self commissioned” doors are doors that I’ve designed and to make available to folks who don’t have the time or inclination to wait for a custom door to be made.

Some of these doors are complete, some doors are curing between the 4 coats of varnish oil, while some are waiting for glass and panels. One door is waiting for me to install the dentil shelf and eyebrow. I guess it is safe to say, we have some work in progress. I forgot to take a picture of a door on the bench to be glued up tomorrow, before the weekend comes.
I build a separate web site for each client to watch the steps it takes to create their door ........ and in the end ...... the final results of their dreams for a custom made door.

All of the panels, dentil shelf, and an "eyebrow" are oiled with 3-4 coats of our varnish oil. We do this before they are installed in or on the doors. That way the door is truly sealed from the inside out. That is the right way ........ the only way.
Thought I’d add a picture of 2 sets (doors worth) of panels being pressed in my vacuum press. I keep the process proprietary, but I thought I’d include a cool shot
