Oak Front Door by Norfolk Furniture Maker Mark Rhodes.

> Oak front door by Norfolk Furniture Maker Mark Rhodes.

The brief was simple…we want a solid Oak front door. Now this might seem simple at first, couple of stiles, bottom rail, top rail, a few panels, easy yes? Well what my clients wanted wasn’t to be your bog standard frame and panel door, oh no what they wanted was a slab door. Now you can’t make a door from one piece, that just isn’t practical (though it would look nice), so I suggested that we made the door from five pieces and glue them together, this makes it a bit more stable for seasonal changes, but not foolproof. I’ll just go ahead and show you the finished door I think.

You will notice that the head and the top of the door are curved, this made the whole door a joy to make (I will forget about lugging it about, though I doubt my back will).
You can see on the back how I have some very slightly raised bearers, how will they hold anything I hear you ask.
The answer is, I used large sliding dovetails.
I’m going to fit tomorrow, so will update with finished pictures then.
Thanks for looking.
