More Doors

I have seen a lot of different door styles but this one is surely a flavorite. I thought of building it with just one panel and a cutout in the center, then adding the strips to the front of the panel as an inlay. Instead, there are 4 different panels with its own separate framework. This way, the door will be much more stable.




This is the same quartered African Mahogany we are using on the vanity with the radius doors. Leslie Schofield, the mastermind behind the whole project has a pretty cool mantle in the works too; will definitely keep you posted on that as well. It should be a treat.

Coopered Doors, well kind of


These doors aren't really coopered, they're just curved. We started out with three pieces of 8/4 African Mahogany to allow for the arc. We then used this hand built jig to cut the arc. After a lot of figuring and a lot of time and a little bit of sanding they matched up flawlessly with the bathroom vanity built for the Glenwild home in Park City. This is just one of Leslie's many designs at work here at Deep Creek.



I like this cabinet so much I think I'll just take it home for myself. Here are the doors. Almost done, just a few drawers, stain, and finish and this one's ready to go.
