The arched top door - Minster, OH - taking shape!

With the first side of exterior oak applied and secured, I've cut away the excess wood, to within a 1/4" of the core. Now, with a flush trim bit set up in the router, I am able to neatly carve away the final portions, and make the exterior and the core become one shape! I've trimmed the opening for the glass as well.
Over the next few days, I will be applying the opposite layer, and repeating this process on the other side. This will finish out the construction of the door, and allow me to move on to the finishing stage!
The tightness of the grain of this white oak is beautiful, and I am really excited to get this done, because I know what it's going to become - watch and see!!!
