This is all quite timely as I am in the process of building eleven interior doors for a Seattle design outfit. Here's a sample I made last week.

No, it's a paint sample on some 100 year old scraps of what I'm building the doors from. I need to figure out how rough they want the wood before I can assemble parts. I have built a couple hundred doors along these lines. All for Seattle architects and design firms. Never a paint job quite this shabby yet. This is more typical of my doors. The architect uses this photo on their web site as the intro to this project. After she saw this photo on the wall of the architecture firm, a gal named Stephanie Meyer wanted 27 large doors for her carraige house. She apparently wrote some books about werewolves and vampires in Forks Wa. Called Twilight series. There were movies made too. Anyway I'm glad she liked them. I had 4 kids to feed.

These are very similar to the fourteen I'd built for our stable just two years ago.
I used white oak but the design is nearly the same.
Mine slide vs. being hinged and the top "half" is railed vs. solid.

I never had four kids but with eleven horses to feed, well, I understand why a man does what he has to do...
