Timber Frame: Doors

The doors are on the timber frame!  Ken used a pattern he's had his eye on for a long time from a Handyman magazine.  These were the first doors he's made ~ and they are perfect.  It won't take long for them to darken to the color of the siding.

Ken bought a pocket hole jig to make the frame for each door.  First he set the measurements for the depth of the board ~

Then he used a drill with a special bit to drill the pocket holes ~

The screws go into the special holes to conceal how the boards in the frame are connected ~

The result is a clean, flush finished frame on either side of wainscoting ~

The cross pieces behind the glass are from the old storm door from our old house.  We added a bit of Longwood to the timber frame at 512, seen more clearly today from the inside ~

Dark hinges and a dark lock finish the look ~

Pretty snazzy I'd say ~

Next weekend the garden bench goes in.  Stay tuned ~
