>I’ve been meaning to get these finished for a couple of weeks, but have been tied up on the wardrobe job. These are going to look very traditional, and the oak is stunning. Starting with a pile of machined timber…
Then apply the ledges and braces
Then nail, I’m using hand-made looking nails for this(that cost a small fortune), and they look great.
All nailed in place.
Two down one to go.
I will get these finished this week with a view to fit the following, thanks for looking.
>Are the boards tapered mate? They look great.
>Yes mate, I've seen some old doors around these parts done the same, I really like the effect, and might do my kitchen doors the same. There is no waste either, except the sap, which I wouldn't use anyway.
>I came back to this posting after seeing the whole room post because I wondered the same about the taper. When I first saw them here, I assumed a camera trick. I love that look; definitely something worth stealing, er, using. Well done. Like the nails, too. Have no idea where I could find that on this side of the pond.
