You want a unique and antique door, you don’t need to hunt for the old house. Just create a rustic style door by yourself. Still confused with the rustic style? Simply, rustic style means making furniture or interior layout that does not change the shape or texture of the original. For example, please take a look one example in the photo below.

This door was made of camphor wood. First of all wood cut into 18 boards pieces measuring 5 in x 84 in. Board pieces then arranged into three door leaf. To “lock” the row of boards, every door leaf equipped with two short boards, placed horizontally. One more, long pieces of wood placed in a diagonal position.

Don’t forget, when developing a vertical wooden boards, provide a 1cm wide gap, between the one wood with another. This gap is needed in order to avoid cracking of the jointing line between wood. The reason is, wood has a tendency to expand and shrink.

To provide a rustic look, this wooden planks cut with an ax. The result, the surface looks pockmarked wooden board. The next touch, so it looks like an antique doors, provided with two colors finishing polish. Darker on the inner side, brighter colors for the exterior side. Bright-dark game is what makes it appear antique.

This door can be shifted, sliding and playing. One door leaf has a pivot. He put the garage door rails on the upper part only, while the bottom is not. Because, bottom rail so often litter. How about the results, ok isn’t it?
