We are building a new house and I have elected to do some of the interior
wood working and to build the front entry door. I think I know the
mechanics of the joinery however I think it is wise to learn as much
joinery, finishing insulation and sealing as I can before I launch this
project. Has anybody out there built their own entry door? What were the
surprises and learnings? Are there any good web sites on entry door joinery
and sealing? What about finishing? I will probably use either quarter sawn
oak or mahogany. It will have an oval beveled leaded glass
insert --probably 16" x 42". Anybody know of a good source for oak or
mahogany mill work for the oval?
