so i finally got round to making a door for the oven, took a few pics along the way i'll try to explain them best i can!! i started by cutting 3 slabs of 1" thick oak on the band saw to the shape of my templates i used to build the oven arches. i cut one to the size of the internal arch, and two to the shape of the external landing arch which are bigger to buttup against the reveal i left when building the oven to allow for a good close. i then ran a rebate all the way around the smaller arch on the ring fence to set a stove rope in to which was glued and air nailed in to hold it in place.

next i took the first of the external arches and glued and air nailed some 1" oak on too the face of it to create nearly 3" cavity for insulation Attachments:

you can see how its assembled on this picture the smalled door was joined to the bigger one from inside the cavity so there were no screws showing on the inside face Attachments:

and a picture of the door in place with the forums almost obligatory clas ohlson thermometer! and handles on. the outer door was fixed around the outside to the 1" cavity forming bits of oak i pre drilled all the screws so it didn't split the wood and measured out the spacings equally. The inside was filled was rockwool as i didn't have any vermiculite left! DONE! Attachments:

thanks,
no some high temp glue i got off ebay with the rope, tbh the nails are doing a better job or you could use some small headed screws or a bit of wood glue wouldn't hurt either!

Enjoyed a nice day in the Kitchen Workshop, eh, Keith?
Nice work fella!
That Osmo oil...is it the recommended oil of choice for Oak?
I've seen it mentioned before somewhere you see.
I'm planning to knock up some Oak framed windows and door frame for the new project and had it in mind to use that as the finish for them.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but it just prompted me.
A fine finish to your great oven, sir!
Well done!

thanks guys  danno . . osmo do a range of wood oils all very hardwearing, i used the polyx oil high solid clear satin matt, its really enhanced the wood natural character and deepened the colour of the wood slightly i would say. Its actually billed as an interior product but the door is sheltered and the oil is water repellent and very durable however for windows and doors i would probably look in to their exterior range www.osmouk.com/osmocolor.cfm?chapter=20thats a link to their site anyway loads to choose from! |

I've been starting to think about my door, I also have some bits of 1" oak knocking about ( like you do).
I'm curious to know about the various treatments, eg osmo oil, that people use, whether they are non toxic (even after exposure to high temps) and what the effect of high temperature is on them in terms of appearance

Hi
I'm not entirely sure sorry! I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that osmo was safe but if you find out otherwise be sure to let me know!
Anyway on the inside face of my door I'm going to cover it to protect the oak and at worst stop it going up in flames. Could I use a piece of cement fiber board screwed to the oak just to protect it. I'm not bothered about the cement board that could be replaced! Any thoughts?
