I'm going into the second year on a compete remodel of our kitchen. I shared photos last fall of the cherry countertop built for our kitchen island. My wife thought the painted metal kitchen entry door was kind of looking ugly and suggested building a cherry door that matches the countertop. After a lot of shop hours, I got it finished this week and installed. It is 1-3/4"x 32"x 80" solid cherry. She bought an antique stained glass panel from Ebay last fall, so the challenge was to build the door around the stained glass panel. The tenons are pegged with 1/2" walnut dowels. It is finished with 5 coats of Original formula Waterlox. My first door, a lot more hours than I expected. The biggest challenge was fitting all the joints square and tight with no gaps. It was a good learning experience but I'm in no hurry to start another door any time soon.
