For all you retards that didn't read Ron's original post, he wants to
make SOLID WOOD doors.

Dude, panel doors are SOLID WOOD.

He says he can get wood for stiles and rails, BUT he wants to buy
solid planks. He does NOT want to build a raised panel door.

Okay, Sparky, then what's with the rails and stiles? If he has rails
and stiles why does he need a door sized piece of wood?

The OP's post is unclear as to his intentions, yours is just stupid,
but it's nice to see you sticking up for _your_ assumptions about
someone else's post.

Well, solid he does say; whether the object is a raised panel or slab
door is left at best indeterminate.

The post actually says he can buy the wood "for _THE_ rails and stiles"
which if read literally means he will be building a panel door; whether
raised or not isn't addressed.

One can also presume it means what you said it does, but it certainly
isn't conclusive.

OTOH, as others have pointed out and you in more detail, the idea of
making a door of a single 2" plank isn't the best in the world...

Probably closer to one of the worst ideas. Then again, if you don't
mind the width of the door varying by about half an inch with seasonal
changes in temperature and humidity, it would be simple, eh? Just
like a hollow core door only heavier...and less stable...and far more
expensive...and guaranteed to split...and... Well, you get the idea.
