I've built many large doors using several methods , ...
I'd suggest starting with square edged stock, using mortise and tenon
joinery and then apply the sticking (which can easily be made on a
router table) and panels later after the door has been glued up.
just my 2 cents

Interesting. There was an article in, I think Fine Woodworking, maybe FHB a
couple issues back dealing with door construction in a laminated fashion.
It intrigued me enough that I'm thinking of tackling the front door for the
house we're gonna build next year.

Basically you make a sandwich of your chosen wood, using pocket-hole joinery
to do the rails and stiles in three layers. Looked pretty easy compared to
the alternative. Besides, it gives you an excuse to buy a Kreg jig (if you
need an excuse that is)... : )
