Building Barn Doors from Rough-Sawn Cedar

Make 79-inch-tall barn doors from rough-sawn cedar 1x8s. Each door uses four full-width 1x8s plus one ripped to 35¾ inches total width. Boards held by a Z-shaped frame of 1x4s (ripped from 1x8s) attached with 1⅜-inch deck screws. Seal with stain or clear preservative. Add strap hinges so screws run through horizontal frame members into door boards. Place doors on plywood scraps for clearance, screw hinges to posts, check swing, add handles and hasp.
