Hey guys,
My nephew who lost his house in the Washington, IL tornado last year, has asked me to consider making a front door for their new house. They also lost a large pin oak in their front yard and were thinking about using that. I have a major concern about this (aside from the fact that I've never made an entry door before) regarding the use of pin oak. I saw the floor plans this past weekend and the door will be sheltered from moisture and sunlight. But after reading some of the threads here, it sounds like pin oak is a member of the red oak family. So I don't think pin oak would be suitable for an exterior door under any circumstance. Is this correct?
Thanks,
Charlie
