They look great! Am I correct in thinking you put ply over the four frames, then added molding to make them look like frame & panel? I think it worked out well!
Minimize warp in long narrow door
Hello,
I'm about to build a set of bi-folding closet doors. Each panel will consist of 9" x 80". I'm concerned the panels might warp since they are narrow and long.
I think one post suggested letting the wood dry and plane it on both sides. Unfortunately I do not have access to planer or joiner.
Is there somethings I can do to minimize warping with limited tool set? Would using plywood better than wood strips for the frame? The doors will be painted and mounted using bi-fold door hardware.

Thank you so much for your help!
Edit:
Bi-fold door: This is due to space issue. Large door(s) will collide with the bedroom door. Pocket door is not an option and I don't want barn door or sliding door.
Painted: This is the look I want. I love beautiful wood furnitures, but do not like wood grains on the wall. Sorry, I hope it doesn't offend anyone.
