Door Production Photos


I returned 11 of the first 15 windows to be rebuilt. I still don’t have a finished door to photograph. It’s amazing to me that 5 people have bought doors from me based on illustrations. So I’m getting photos as quickly as I can.
Ready for Glass
BTW, those are not my hands. (I hear that’s an old Martha Stewart trick. You photograph someone wearing a blue sweater while making hand made soap. Then publish a picture of Martha in the same sweater.) This is Michael, a very experienced and perfectionist carpenter. You wouldn’t know from his beautiful old-world tools, but he starts his projects in AutoCAD.
I wanted to show the solid wood construction of these doors. Describing it in an email falls short. Here you can really see how solid it is. And these door are heavy.
Construction Detail
For customers who have already ordered a door, I’m sending a block cut out from their door to test stain on. (I can thank one of my customers for that great idea.)
Cut Outs
These go in the mail today.
