Arts and Crafts Front Door
Sep 26, 2012
Willie Sandry Designs. Here is my version of an arts and crafts door. It was based on FWW’s “Build Your Own Front Door” article, and I added a tapered center stile, dentil shelf with corbels, and leaded glass. On construction detail I changed – I added self adhesive foam weatherstripping inside the grooves around the floating panels. This will help prevent air infiltration in the windy season.
The finish is Rodda #19, and Deft poly sprayed with a gravity feed gun.

Beautiful door! Great craftsmanship. Where did the hardware and glass come from?
Thanks Steve,
The lockset is from Emtek, and the ball bearing hinges are from a local door shop.
The glass was special ordered from Middlefield Glass in Ohio. They offer software that allows you to design your own panels. That was fun process. The panels are set in a rabbet and secured with glass stops and urethane caulking.
Overall it was not as hard as you'd imagine.
Nice design! Any way I can get a better picture of it? The FWW pics are tiny. I'm looking to build one for my own house and would like to leverage your fine design if you don't mind.

Handsome. All your contributions are great craftsmanship, but I think this along with your dining table are my favorites. Great work.
