Hi all,
I am in the finishing stages of a total bathroom remodel. This includes replacing two pocket doors and one swinging door.
The replacement doors will be simple stained slabs so as to match the rest of the 1960s home.
I had considered just ordering lauan-veneered solid-core slabs (about $100 each). But I'm curious: is Baltic birch plywood stable enough to make an 80" tall slab door?
It seems like going with Baltic birch for the doors would be less expensive and higher quality compared with a manufactured solid-core door, and not very much work. In order to make a 1-3/8" thick door, I would need to glue two pieces of 18mm (~3/4") plywood together to arrive at a finished thickness of 36mm (1.42"). I think that gluing two panels together should result in a very flat panel, but I've never attempted anything like this before. What do you all think?
Thanks for reading
