Making a custom door, part 2

March 3, 2015

Continuing work on the custom door. I glued the middle layer to the back layer. I changed my mind about the larger opening, concerned that the front or back might bow between the window openings. To help, I glued some scrap pieces of the veneer between the circles. There will then be three small squares of acrylic, still easier than cutting circular glass inserts to fit. :]

Since the front and back pieces are different types of wood, they have different textures. I spread spackling over the front to even out the grain. I also lined the interior of the circles and filled in any nicks in the wood on both sides from the cutting process.

Once dry, I sanded the pieces smooth.

I’ll need to paint it before further assembly, so I’m going to leave this here for now. I need to choose my colors. :]
