I've replace three luan doors in my house so far with the pine. I use
option 2 but don't bevel the edges (The luan wasn't beveled). It works
perfectly. You can buy a straight edge at the Borg for this purpose (it's
an aluminum edge guide for a circular saw). I used an 80 tooth smooth
plywood blade made by dewault and got a perfect edge on all the doors.


Thanks for the input. I am ebarassed to ask: What is a "Borg"? Is it a
store?
