looks great. what type of joinery / glue did you use to connect the segments of the arch?
sorry for not responding sooner! i used a lap joint on the sides and 1" t&g on top. glued with two part epoxy. since the door is 1" thick i morised a 1/4 x 6" groove on the edge of joints then epoxied in a piece of steel for additional strength.then a plug to hide steel.
the moulding on the outside is 2" thick to allow clearance of door handle. it was glued with waterproof titebond(the white stuff)
