I wanted to do some type of door design accent to go along with the wainscoting I made. Here is what i came up with and here is how i did it. I asked in here for design suggestions and was told to go to door mfgs to look for designs. I found this one:

I then took the dxf and toolpathed it to cut out certain parts then to just clear other parts to certain depths. This is what it looks like cut on the table.
2023
Then i took the hollow core door painted it a pale yellow color, the same as the walls and then painted the door accent white the same color as the trim and wainscoting. I like the contrast in colors and here is what it looks like when it is 90% done. I have some touchup and mount the hardware and have to glue it to the door but this is the basic idea of what i wanted.
2024
I couldn't have done this without the help of Ron Varella. He helped me EXTENSIVELY! He taught me a lot and helped me learn a lot of stuff in the creation process of this, so Ron...YOUDAMAN!
