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

I like the look of the door it turned out nice.I built one similar to that and it has been doing real good.I was using them cheap ones from H.D. they did not last long at all.

Made in true Grizzman fashion… rustic and for someone else.

I see only one problem with that door.
It just made the rest of the house look bad :-)
You’re a good son-in-law, Grizz.
I wish MY mother-in-law was worthy of such things :-P

Really nice m/t work. And, you nailed it (IMHO) on the artsy-farsty pull. Really beautiful work. Thanks for the pics and post. With your permission, it’s on my short list of stuff to plagerize. :)
P.S.: I’m a NYC boy…...got a piece of antler? The only one in the whole city is on a famous jackelope head.

Nice Job Grizz!!
I don’t know if you’ll be the one installing it, but I came up with a simple way for a screen door to be self closing here...
You’ll have to read down a bit, and there’s only one picture, but I think you’ll get the idea…

Outstanding job Grizz. Useful & not frilly. I got to get some photos of my pathetic projects on here. Take care.
