   not exactly a title, but go see a place that carries several lines. Each catalog will have pictures in multiple finishes of several varieties. Granted, if you're yearning for the unusual, that might not get you too far. But just pictures, heck, they're free for the asking.

   A number of times in the past, 5?, 10? 15? years ago FHB had their center section on different doors photos, some really exceptional doors, I'm sure someone here can tell you which issues.

   Have gotten ideas in the past from looking thru a photo alblum/web sites of Pompei excavations and doors found there, also impressed by Parthenon doors, doors in Edinburgh castle, etc.

   Fold in your own 'druthers.

   Attachment is own effort on the cheap (all old pallets for the door & garage sale glass pieces)

   On own house, due to time pressures, found that it was best to put in cheap temporary doors when building and till after the tax assessor comes by the first time, then take your time on the doors important to you and replace later. Door in attachment was finally built 6+ years after moving in and replaced a plain 36" solid core luan skin door that sufficed in the interim.

   Junkhound, don't know what you get out of that door, but it brought a big grin to my face.  Great to see some colour in an often too-bland world.

   Regards,

   I have done some crazy things with flush birch veneer doors a tablesaw and a router. Stiles and rails Are another deal. The important thing is the joinery if you want it to last. there are all kinds of ways to get from A to B

   Google custom doors and/or door manufacturers. Tons of pics on these sites.

   Google architectural salvage. Lots of stuff there as well.

   Knowledge is power, but only if applied in a timely fashion.
