The Victorian style door is made from a frame of  Grade A pine,nominally 70mm wide and 25mm thick.

The frame has scribe  joints, and when glued and cramped up,the joint has greater strength than the wood itself.

The inner part of the frame has a 6mm groove to accept a flat panel. Victorian style moulding is thenb applied to the recessed panel .

The panel is made from individual lengths of pine 12mm thick and 150mm wide glued together rebated at the back to slot inside the panel frame.

The panels are cut to size so that they are a good fit and because of the rebating,they combine with the frame to add extra strength the the door.

The doors are individually assembled then placed in a jig to ensure that they are square.Ater being glued and cramped the doors are  sanded when the joints are set.

After the doors have been sanded the mouldings are cut  and mitred  to fit within the frame and then secured with panel pins.

The maximum size door we make is normally 1400mm high.We recommend that doors larger than 1000mm high are made in a 25mm thick frame as this reduces significantly the possibility of “warp”
