It sure did turn out nicely. The relief work is so gently done with the edges making such clear definitions. It's something I'm trying to achieve, but haven't gotten the hang of at all. It makes me really admire your work all the more.

No i don,t make my own doors ,its better too have somebody make them that nows what they are doing.
most of my doors,mantels are Alder
and are 2" thick, my next project
will be a full panel door. the panel will be 21/4" thick with a Peace of 1/2" alder
plywood laminated on the back side
to give it more strength, then i can go about 1 3/4" deep, should be interesting
too do. as far as your carvings go they look super to me, just keep doing what you are doing and you will get there.
