Your plan to use plywood in the middle and hardwood on both sides with CNC grooving sounds promising. Here are some tips to help you along the way:

Measure Accurately: Ensure you have precise measurements of the door's dimensions and design. Accuracy in measurements is crucial for a well-fitting door.

Select the Right Wood: Choose high-quality plywood and hardwood that suit your design and purpose. Consider the wood's grain pattern and color to achieve the desired look.

Gluing and Clamping: Use a good wood adhesive to bond the layers together. Apply even pressure by using clamps to prevent gaps and ensure a strong bond.

CNC Routing: When using CNC, set it up carefully to create the desired grooves and patterns. Test on scrap wood first to ensure the settings are correct.

Safety: Be cautious when working with power tools. Use safety gear, including eye protection and ear protection if necessary.

Finishing: Sand the door thoroughly to achieve a smooth surface. Apply the finish of your choice, such as varnish or paint, to protect the wood and enhance its appearance.

Hardware Installation: Install the necessary hardware (hinges, handles, locks) precisely to ensure smooth operation.

Test Fit: Before finalizing the project, test-fit the door to make sure it fits the frame correctly and swings smoothly.

Maintenance: Educate yourself on proper door maintenance to ensure it remains in good condition over time.

Patience and Precision: Take your time with each step and pay attention to details. A well-crafted door requires patience and precision.

A point cutting round over bit such as the Whiteside #1580 would be able to cut those bead grooves.

2 cents the problem is machining solid wood that wide is prone to cracks and cracks, if you go thin warping will be a problem.
If you machine after all is laminated it has to be perfect.
Make strips and glue keep it simple .
Nice door I always hate to copy, need your design cabinetmakers are better designers than designers .I assume when they gave the picture no thought on how to make the door?
Curios is Sara's answer AI ?

Your project seems like a fascinating undertaking! It seems like a good idea to use plywood as the core, hardwood on both sides, and CNC for the grooving. Make sure your measurements are exact, and think about the look of the wood you choose. When pressing, choose an adhesive that you can trust. I hope your door-making project goes well!

That sounds like a solid plan! Using plywood as the core for stability and hardwood for aesthetics is a good approach. Ensure your CNC settings are precise for accurate grooving. Consider sealing all sides of the door to prevent warping. Measure twice, cut once, and take your time with each step for a smooth finish.

FORUM GUIDELINES: Please review the guidelines below before posting at WOODWEB's Interactive Message Boards (return to top)

WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.

Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.

A valid email return address must be included with each message.

Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.

Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.

"Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.

Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.

Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.

Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.

Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.

Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.

Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.

Comments, questions, or criticisms regarding Forum policies should be directed to WOODWEB's Systems Administrator
(return to top).

WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

Libel: Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

Improper Decorum: Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

Advertising: The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).
