Front Door
Hi ,
Wanted to share with you a labour of love. I restored the front door of the homestead of our family farm , it would be around 75 years old. I had the leadlighting fixed and then had matching leadlight panels made to compliment it. The door frame came from a salvage yard and after removing about six layers of paint I finally got it back to the natural Jarrah. Sadly the farm has changed hands but the door has Pride of place in my new home.
Cheers GRS

Scott,I just used a satin estipol finish as it does get wet if the wind is strong enough.
Glenn, the finish makes it hard to photograph also,note the farm name in the center.
