Not quite done yet, but I'm pretty excited and had to show someone.
This is my first attempt at interior doors.
The pile of lumber is a material from a deck I tore down last year.
I have been taking pics throughout the process and I plan on posting them when I'm finished.
As I hack around on the doors, I keep telling myself to take your time and enjoy. So far its working!

The door looks great Matt. I love the use of recycled lumber. Good luck!

Matt, that is a great design! The pic is too small to tell - what are the woods?

Thanks Guys -
Rails and styles are the old joist, Doug Fir. The panels are the decking, Redwood.

That's a beautiful door Matt. Exciting to think that lumber once destined to a life of being walked on will now have the pleasure lounging in a door opening on proud display for all who pass to admire. Sort of a rise in station from my view point. A promotion if you will.
Good luck with the contest.

I am going to try finishing with boiled linseed oil.
