1850s Door - #8

This is the first stained door that I built.  It is a scale replica of the 150 year old doors in my friends Glenn and Jeannie's old farm house, including the door knob and hinges.

With the stained doors you have to cut and dry fit all the pieces first, then stain them, and them assemble the door.  The CA glue (super glue) that  use soaks through the balsa wood easily and then the stain doesn't take to the wood uniformly.  The glue effectively seals the wood.

I know I have some more detailed pictures of this one on the computer somewhere.
