They look real good. I don't think unpainted is good for exterior doors ,but I've been unable to convince most customers.
Im sure many are curious about how you made curved to straight and rail joints in that area. As you might have seen in old books there are some interesting complicated joints for that ,but I've never seen one "in real life"...that I know of. I've always used butt joint at spring line with two splines on each joint . Vertical grain ,only about an inch tall,but carefully fitted with plane.
Some I've been able to "monitor" over the years and they have held up well.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm with you on the paint.
The originals were painted on the outside and stained on the inside.
The old doors were 106 years old.
I used a spline joint. Built the doors pretty much like the old timers did it.
It was a fun project to do.

beautiful work, Mr. John!

Do they have concerts inside like the one in Oakland, California designed by Julia Morgan? I believe it is in a few weeks now. Those are not books on the shelves they are boxes for the ashes.

Very fun project, and you did a beautiful job! Most of the stuff we do is pretty hum-drum, but once in a while its nice to get something over the top.
