Hello all, what a great resource this is. I'm an enthusiastic hobbyist sometimes biting off more than I can chew but (usually) enjoy the process as much as the finished article. Found this site when searching around for tips on making a diminished stile door. This particular issue is part of a rather ongoing project in fitting out my second timber frame. Timber frame 2 including ground work is ongoing since March 2022 while also sneaking in other smaller projects, general life as well as my real job. I try to use traditional techniques and handtools when possible but happy to embrace modern materials and approaches if I think they're up to snuff. Once the door is made, it'll be onto the sliding sashes and a few fixed lights and this will be finished. Then back to the massive evergrowing list of smaller projects I'm keen to start. The door is for this frame.
The inside is mostly finished including our old reclaimed kitchen floor made from long junckers oak boards individually handsawn, partially retongued and regrooved into custom staves. The contrasting border is from a couple of old doors and the whole floor still needs sanded to final level so there's some old stain on pieces. The wide focus makes this appear more narrow than it is but otherwise couldn't fit much in.
This is a sliding sash I made a couple of years ago and will be similar to what I intend to make, glaze and install though definitely not in walnut!
