   Whoa sorry about the pic size, i spent time getting them down to a good file size but didnt think about the actual picture size.  SOrry about that, first time really posting pics at taunton.

   More about the doors,  each board was cut to keep the grain in line while you beveled the end cuts so that a mini scarf joint was created.  This would help give appearance of solid doors while a normal butt joint might have shown that its a steel garage door with boards screwed on to it.

   The garage door company will weigh the doors, insulate the back and fit the proper spring onto the door. Then install them, we just had the fun of putting the wood "veneer" onto the door.

   I've got to do something like this on a bid coming up this week.  What'd you charge?  Also, is this normal t&g stock?  5/8 thick?  How did you attach?  Nails and glue? 

   I think you're saying that the garage door company is hanging them, no?  And they're going to account for the weight of the wood with a new spring.  I'm retrofitting an existing garage door, one panel.  I guess I'll have to do some hunting around or else hire a garage door company to come out and adjust for the weight.

   Looks great, by the way.

   Yes its stock tongue and groove, smooth one side rough the other.   we used adhesive (liquid nails heavy duty) and screws from the under side.   some pre drilled.   We beveled at a 5degree to tighten up the joints and to help water from soaking into the end grain. 

   yes the garage door company will now take the panels weigh them and install a torsion spring that will be the right match.   They will also set the track back so that the door will fit flush.

   Now to find a penofin dealer in my area to seal her up.

   These doors were for a builders house that will be on a homes tour, so accurate billing really cant be figured, but for the doors, three people (cut man, screw man and glue/placer) took us a strong weekend.   We wanted the grain to match so each board was cut to fit.   SO figure a minimum of two people, three is ideal, 4 would probably just stand around and BS.

   That's pretty cool. I like that.
