Tuesday, July 17, 2007Solid Wood Doors We think that in rustic settings, board-and-batten wood doors are attractive. They can be made on site with simple tools or produced by a local carpenter or cabinetmaker. Boards that have tongue-and-groove edges obscure seasonal shrinkage better than square-edged boards. If you use rough-swan boards for their texture, be sure to dry them first or wide gaps will appear as they shrink. It's important with all board-and-batten doors to provide a Z-brace, or a very wide cross brace, to keep them from sagging.
