Keeping the stiles thin is less about the tall and thin aspect, given that these are bifold doors, and more with showing the curly bubinga panels to their best effect. In fact, early on I was looking at making frame and panel doors without frames showing at all and thereby giving a very modern appearance. Later, I reconsidered this idea and went back to surrounding frames, as this was more harmonious, it seemed to me, with the rest of the piece. Diminishing the surroundings while keeping the strength led to the design of 'L' shaped stiles and upper/lower rails. Hopefully this will work out nicely - we'll see.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-83798356368393394292017-01-24T20:04:53.206-05:002017-01-24T20:04:53.206-05:00Nice work Chris, I like the efforts made in keepin...Nice work Chris, I like the efforts made in keeping the stiles thin, that will certainly translate nicely to a tall and thin door.Brian Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207345071092915936noreply@blogger.com
