First raised panel door

[Brent Romero]

Yep, pecky cypress. Thanks

I am going to have a piece of inlaid granite beneath the egg and also a piece of inlaid granite as part of the work surface. Gotta love the egg!! I've had mine ~12yrs now...and love it.

Dumb question time.

Why is this process called "raising a panel"? Nothing's getting raised, the sides are being lowered. Or have I missed the point?

BTW, nice job on the door!

the center is raised compared to the sides but you're right semantically.

Looks real good.

Properly adjusting the cutter head is hard at first. I keep a gauge block around that has properly cut joint.
Once you have that block, use it to align your cutter head.

It's a Zen koan....kinda like "the sound of one hand clapping".
