I built the door from red cedar sourced locally in keeping with other millwork we've added to the reno. As cedar is dimensionally unstable it was necessary to glue and biscuit join the frame then I added architectural bolts for strength. The field boards were first overlap routed and float inside the frame as they expand and contract significantly with weather and humidity. On the inside I routed the frame rail for a closure pull and latch. There will be an automotive themed outside handle added when Paul gets to it.

Beautiful workmanship and attention to detail. Given the "instability" of cedar, a sliding door is a pretty ideal application. You guys do GREAT work. Keep those cards and letters coming!!
