Hinged or sliding panels?
What's the wood and where was it cut?
hello there Calvin - nice hammer you got there - ever hit anybody with it?
the shutters slide and the walnut and poplar came off the farm - the project did not start out so grandiose, I was just tired of exposed ragged drywall edges - "I'll build an extension jamb and picture frame some trim around it"
oh well, glad I wasn't paying a proffesional -
I did create a piece of archtectural molding...

Clean shaving!
And noone of interest has been harmed with the 2 lb hammer. A few tent stakes, a bit of persuasion on a wall I'm sure and oh yeah-couple dozen foreign spammers.
Nothing serious.
Holy Guacamole.
All done with hand tools?
Nice work.
And $100 a foot for trim is a bargain!
