Mesquite Veneered Door This
door is 8 ' high x 35 " wide x 2 1/2" thick. The 1/8" thick
veneer is made in my shop from a single plank that was only 2" thick
and a little over 9" wide. The veneer on each side of the door is
made into a 3'x8' sheet before applying to the built up core. The modified
core is made from a 1 3/4" thick premium grade solid core door that
has 1/4" MDF applied to both sides with West
brand epoxy. The veneer is also glued on with epoxy and both sides
are exactly the same. I use a vacuum bag veneer press made by Mercury
Vacuum Presses. The sides, top and bottom have thick mesquite edge
banding and the door appears to be made from four thick planks glued together. |
