Box Specs.

More box specs...

Being installed. 

Another view - you can see the rich walnut color best here.
My camera flash was weak on the others, making the floor look darker.

The foam backing also works as construction floor protector.
More photos to come when the trim is done...

The Door - Before & After

The Old Door Skin - as it looked on day one
BEES!?
Frame was reworked, foam insulation installed...
Three or four coats of amber shellac was applied prior to installing the skin
Door installed
The exterior - showing the new deadbolt and the original Bargman door handle.
As you may have noticed on the photo showing the bees above - there was a split in the door that the prior owner repaired using some kind of a velkum type product.  It is solid, but could look better.
