Curved sections at the top of the jamb were done 3 ways, stack sawn, carved from solid and laminated glue up. Each of these pieces were put together to make the top.2023-01-04_08-48-39 by Kerry Grubb, on Flickr

Inside view.

We did not work steady on the door, usually weekends and evenings and rainy days. It took several months to go from rough lumber to a finished product. The installation was a one day job. That included tearing the old door and jamb out, installing the new jamb, door and hardware. We needed to do the installation in one day because the job was almost 3 hrs one way from the shop. I didnt want to have to make too many trips! Everything was done by myself and my son. All the material is African Mahogany for weather resistance.

I am now working on a set of cabinets for the same church. If I get a chance I will photo document that one as well.

Another beautiful job! I can only imagine the immense pride and satisfaction you and your son must have completing a project like this. Any idea of total hours involved?

Thanks Larry, I do have an exact count but I would have to go back through my books and add stuff up, I would guestimate about 80+ though.

I can't even imagine something like that.  My woodworking consists of my Stihl MS291 and dead trees.
