SOLID CORE DOOR

Not bad information, but I've never considered lumber full of knots to
be "straight-grained". Seems to me that the greatest stability would
be found using clear pine rather than knotty or some sort of hardwood.

Nicely done, but it's a 4 panel door, not a solid core. It's sold, but has no
core.

Still, I might make a few near that pattern next year to replace the birch crap
in our VA house.

The problem there is the pocket door. I hate working on those things.

Something else to bear in mind when building a panel door (of any
size/type) is to do your glue-up on a *flat* surface. Otherwise you
will just build in warp. DAMHIKT

when you do your dry run stand the door up in clamps and sight across
the stiles, winding stick- wise. if the whole thing has twist give it
a tweak to see if it will come to plane. if not, you may need to shave
a bit on the jointery. in any case, don't apply glue until you know
that the door will come flat while standing free. forcing the twist
out of it with clamps or weights while the glue dries won't work.

Maybe not, but you can sure force twist into it if your bench isn't
flat.
