   I don't think the expansion will be all that great in quarter sawn oak, so I wouldn't let the wood movement stop you from satisfying your customer. Remember that the customer liked the look of the butterfly, not the joint construction. You might consider using a router inlay to create the butterflies. This way you can quickly add them to the door panels you have already made, and they won't go all the way through the panel so wood movement concerns are further reduced. The router inlay kits consist of a couple of brass collars that usually fit a Porter Cable router. Rockler usually carries them. Try this link location: http://www.rockler.com/findit.cfm?page=2007&sidAF057 to find the kit. Hope this was helpful.
