Like most everything, this is a first… Built this door for our master bathroom. Loose mortise and tenon joinery. Rails and styles are knotty alder, panels are spalted maple. natural stain on the maple and I used 3 colors of stain on the alder wood with laquer coats inbetween stains. The entire door has 6 coats of wipe on poly. Whew! 8 months later and hundreds of trip to ther garage… All in all, I would do it again!

What a great door! Love the natural look of the wood! Laquer between Stains through me off. Not being a expert finish guy I would have thought the stain would not adhere once you Laquered. Could you go into more detail on this to help us rookies out please. Thx Great work!
