Begin with the stock

I began by milling the door-frame stock.

I favour quartersawn or rift-sawn boards because the tight, straight grain is both good-looking and stable.

It’s vital that the stock be straight and square.

Any slight bow or twist will make fitting the door a nightmare.

Don’t be tempted to flatten an entire wide board and then rip the frame parts from it; that will lead to bowed or twisted stock.

Instead, begin with rough-sawn 4/4 stock and rip the parts oversize on the bandsaw.

Crosscut the stock to eliminate any serious twist, bowing, or knots, yet keep it as long as possible to decrease the number of pieces you’ll have to rout.

Then joint and plane the boards to final thickness, and rip to the exact width on the tablesaw.
