We have some oak boards that we salvaged from the 2012 Tornado...
Demand meets Supply...
MBB and I tackled the project of making a Barn Door!
I tried to take pictures throughout the process...
First we have the raw boards that we planed and got to the right sizes. We did have to fill in some "holes" to keep light from shining through:
Then the sides were routed to allow for overlap and two cross boards were created to hold the boards together (metal strips on the back). We used spacers to determine where to drill the holes...
This was our "dry run" before staining/polying:
And the color makes an appearance...
I used one coat of Walnut and two coats of Poly:
And the final product with all of the hardware:
We are still debating whether to put a cross board on it for more stability...
Namaste.
