So, this family had a hole in their wall with a bunch of shelves in it. They asked me to build a door similar in style to their exisitng doors. The wood was pine and pine veneer plywood. I made the door into a “pre-hung unit”, where the casing, jamb and door are installed in one shot. The casing is pine, but due to space constraints had to much narrower than anything available at a home center, therefore I had to create an 1 3/4” wide, fluted casing. The only thing I wished I had done was added a little more red coloring to the stain. As you can see, the existing door next to mine has a reddish hue, while mine is a yellowish hue. It is actually more apparent in the picture than in reality. The clients were certainly happy with it.

Nice work Tom.
I’m surprised that they didn’t ask you to make it with raised panels to match the one next to it.
Your all in one unit was a smart idea and makes installation much easier.

Thanks woodwrecker. I actually quoted a raised panel, a 6 panel applied moulding and this options. The price was the driver. This was going to be a full length recessed panel, but I thought the plywood might be too unstable and might warp. I added the rail to break up the panels as an “executive decision. “
