And that's _also_ a conventional frame and panel door, also w/ a center
stile (he uses "muntin" which I've always reserved for the thin vertical
which separates lights in a window but that's ok, they're the same
purpose--make it so there is sufficient structure and a way to allow for
the inevitable movement that will occur) so the panels aren't wide at
all, again.

In fact, "The stock pieces for the upper and lower panels (figure C)
were cut to the same width -- 9-1/2 inches." Note, in fact, he resaws
the material from full thickness to get a bookmatched pair for each
upper and lower set of panels. The article doesn't say it quite right,
probably, in that it says he resawed them for 3/4 panels _after_ taking
the 8/4 material to 6/4 which would leave him thin--undoubtedly he
actually resawed them before full thicknessing but after initial planing
so could see to select grain clearly.

Where in the world you got the idea of a full-width slab for a door is
beyond ken...

I'm still curious (altho far less so now the concept has been debunked)
of who this was that supposedly "went under" and what they were actually
doing...
