A pair of hand made french door style louver doors. It took very long time to make all the components...


Design or Plan used: traditional style?

When he asked me to make the doors I said to him 'You'd better ask joiner. I don't think I can make this one...'. His answer was 'I am sure you can!'. And that was it. He and his wife looked happy when I hung the door. Posted: 11:40 pm on September 15th

In any case a vast improvement over the old door. Posted: 10:08 pm on September 15th
