Prepping the Center Panels

The doors consist of a frame, with a free-floating center panel. This is done to allow for wood expansion/contraction, especially in solid wood panels.

I will be finishing the panels before the doors are assembled, because sanding the panels throughly in the assambled door would be slower and more damage-prone.


Panels are rough cut.

First Coat





As always, I sanded with 320 grit between coats, in order to remove all the whiskers that the finish raised. The resulting surface as a nice satin feel to it.

Second Coat. I really like how this Danish Oil works.
 The other side was given the same treatment.
