I have mentioned that were are doing custom passage doors though my cabinet door shop here in Lubbock. Even without pushing, the last year we have done several jobs, including a couple of sets of sliding barn doors.
Obviously, this was a pretty complicated build. Each door was almost 4 ft. wide with a radius of about 8 1/2’. After they were assembled, they became much too big for me to handle.
They are made from solid rustic alder and are 1 3/8” thick. The panel is raised both sides. The homeowner is planning to make the hardware to hang them with. It has to be modified because of the arch. The outside brackets have to be extended. I am anxious to see them installed.
Hopefully I will be able to get pictures after they are finished and installed which the contractor is doing (thank goodness—I am tired) I did these as well as another set of arched doors in the same house. I had to build the arched jamb for them. I’ll show pictures of them too. They are already hung and painted.
Thanks for looking!

As with others, I hope you do get a chance to post more pics once they are hung. Very nice looking. My shop is too small to build something this big.
