The brief
The new owners of an old farmhouse wanted to keep the original doors, even though none of them shut and two had cracked panels.
What we did
We took the doors to the workshop, stripped old paint by hand, glued the loose joints and replaced two panels with spruce from the same era, salvaged from a barn nearby. New hinges, the old latches kept.
Finish
Linseed oil paint in the original colour, matched from a sample under the old hinges.
