What glue for front door build
Hi guys, I'm making some front doors for my new house and would like some advice on the best glue and any build hints as well. It will be made from 40mm thick tas oak strips about 120mm wide. The outside will be painted and the inside face polyurethane finished. Any advice welcomed.

Titebond III is described as suitable for external use. I used it for joining some boards (with Dominos) as an apron around a deck, which faces north and gets plenty of rain. It was painted, and two years later no sign of any degradation.

what sort of door are you building?
the description of 120 mm wide Tassie Oak strips implies a battened and ledged door that, historically, would have been nailed together. The typical nail would have been hand forged with a large head designed to blunt an attack with an ax.regards from Alberta, Canada

but you didn't answer the question about te style of door.
If it's a frame and panel, one option is to tongue and grove the wood strips used for the panel (and include a bead) and let the strips float in the frame.regards from Alberta, Canada

My preference for outdoor stuff is polyurethane

Well folks, a quick update. I have had all 4 doors in now for a year and no problems using the Titebond III.
I glued 190mm x 45mm strips with some biscuits for alignment. Primed and painted 3 coats and all good. I get a little expansion this winter but a plane fixed that no problems. Anyhow, thanks for your advice and thoughts and my castle in Tasmania is nearly built.

Ok, just as Ian has no idea of what a door looks like here is one I made last May and still going strong. It's a back door that is used daily as the main entry door so it gets a work out, the rest look the same, nothing special.
