Project Information
my mother in law needed a new screen door, so..this door is made from antique southern yellow heart pine and walnut, it has some little worm holes going on it that made it have that rustic look. the joinery is all mortise and tenon, the tenons are 2 inches deep and about 7 1/2 inches wide, i cut a 3/8 inch rabbit to attache the screen to and put a 3/8 walnut molding over it to secure it well, i also capped both sides of the door with a 1 1/8 wide piece of walnut just to give it a little pop .all of the tenons are secure with 2 oak dowels . i had a piece of elk antler left over from a knife handle i made that i thought would make the perfect handle..it was a fun build and with my back problems, totally wore me out..i think i will just lay on the front porch now and look out the door and drink some lemon aid. thank for taking the time to look at my newest project, i welcome your comments, grizzman
