Beautiful door and frame. Salvage is my middle name. What kind of tools do you use to mill your beams?

Thanks for the compliments. I’ll have to try the blog suggestion on my next one.
Ron, as far as cleaning the material i use crowbars, flat bars, hammers, nail pullers with a slide handle, chisels, my teeth..lol. Its a very dirty and sweaty job to say the least. I try to stick with beams no bigger than 8×8 so i can handle them. My Felder sawblade goes up to 4 1/4” high so i can pretty much resaw any material around 8” with it. I’d love to have a Woodmizer like yours on occassion!

Thats just wonderful. I can imagine walking up to someones house and how impressive it would look.

Beautiful door! I would love to see more picture on how you put all of it together. What are you going to finish it with?

Greg, Luckily i’m not doing the finishing. I can do finishing. I just havent in all my years figured out how to make money at it. Lol

WOW! Miles, I agree with Bob – you need to blog one of your doors so we can all see how it is done. Excellent!

Absolutley gourgeous! And the fact that it’s reclaimed old groth makes it an even more valuable and special piece. Love your design and I am jealous of your execution! Fantastic!
