Default 2 garage doors

I have a client wishing me to build 2 garage doors.
I need to make them lightweight, non-warping.
The sizes of each door is about 12 ft. height, and each about 5 ft. width..
(maybe more....not measured yet)
I would like to do a honeycomb pattern...I did see sing panels online.
I would like to make these at home also...in my shop.
Cedar 1x6 on the exterior in a sun burst pattern...
1/4 " marine ply interior.....foam 1 1/2" filler
Just trying to come up with a workeable idea.
I have built doors like these in the past, and realize the issues involved.
I would like to use a frame of Cedar or.......2x4 or 2x6....with a channel
to accept the 1x6.....
I also have used threaded rod, to hold panels together.....
Just throwing out a light of thoughts, and wondering if there is any
direction that one may know?
Thank You
