Carved Cedar Screen Door
A couple of pictures of a screen door getting shipped to New England this week. I am finishing the panel, but the frame will be shipped unassembled and then assembled and finished at the receiving end to match the natural cedar siding on the house.
Wood is Western Red Cedar and 3D tree models are from VectorArt3D. Panel and text carving completed in Aspire, everything else done the old fashion way.
Third picture shows a trick I was taught years ago. I started with 2X8 and 2X10 planks, resawed them in half and reversed one half in both directions. Prepped and glued back together and then sized. Opposing grain will provide a lot of long term stability, especially with a thin frame. Down side is the time involved.
