The arched top door Minster Oh The exterior layers
However, I want to go one more step with this. Id like the edges that will be together to be nice and snug. So, here is a way to scribe long boards together. My method is to lay two boards side by side, clamp down a straight edge, and run my circular saw between the edges. This will effectively scribe one board to the other, and give me nice tight joints!
In the last picture, I have glued all boards and clamped everything in place. You cant see it, but the core is underneath the clamped layer of oak. I started with the center board and worked my way to the outsides. I made sure to apply a full spread of Titebond III waterproof glue, on the surface that is in contact with the core and also the edges (I use a 3" wide foam brush to spread the glue - works great - then just throw it away).
After this has dried, I will rough trim the edges close to the core, and then do final shaping with the router and a flush trim bit.
