I would definitely like to see a guide for the woven wood paneling! Awesome work.

It looked much smaller in the earlier photos. I thought it was a cabinet door!

That looks fantastic!

Could you describe or post pictures of the weather-striping/weather-proofing between the panel and frame? I'm curious how you're keeping rain/snow/wind/bugs/etc. out.

3/8" thick crossgrain splines. They are connecting the tiles together, and there is a spline around the perimeter of the panel that is plowed into the stiles and rails.

It came out absolutely beautiful. Great job!

I love it! So much so that I'm honouring it with my first ever comment on Lemmy! Have really enjoyed seeing your progress with this build.
