Big Prison Doors

Big logs in the log house need big interior doors. My freind was working as a pipefitter at the build of the new federal penitentiary and there was dimensional fir left over from the millwork, 2×6x10’s. Why mess about jointing and planing…machinery is just noisy, so handsaws and chisels and planes and…alot of sweat. A while later mortise and tennoned doors popped out. The panels are a full 1 1/2 thick. These doors are prison doors for sure, they are outrageously heavy. They’re all face grain so I hope they don’t twist, but a deal on wood is the best deal of all. Might be a little dangerous when his kids get older and start slammin them, but for now they’ll hardly be able to move them. (oh ya, a little noise from the sander in the end, face grain fir doesn’t like planes.)
