Doors in solid Teak! stand by with your cheque book :)

Daft as it sounds try B&Q as they do some solid wood kitchen cuboard doors of all sizes, we even had one resized to fit our microwave in.

Good luck

I have a small amount of teak in stock, and a cancelled job that was scheduled to start in 2 weeks time, and some iroko as well in case you can't afford the eye-watering cost of teak. Just a thought....
(But you might understandably want something local, or much cheaper than a made-to-order solution).
 
I had my boat Hermees built in 1963, broken into and the cabin door smashed to bits,( the boat was built by craftsman in those days) a door made as original, cost over a £1000, and that was in mahogany.and varnished,
 
Thanks Folks I found KJ Howell in Poole a few weeks ago. the prices are certainly ok but they only seem to have louvred doors and only 2 sizes. Ive had no response to my email so presume they cant help.

SRP thanks for the offer but Ive not budgeted for bespoke craftsmanship im afraid, i have teenagers to support.

Think Im going to have a go at homemade. Something to do in the evenings when swmbo is gawping at soaps.

thanks all
 
In that case I would definitely be tempted to use iroko rather than teak (assuming you have to buy in the timber and have no chance of getting hold of secondhand stuff). With a bit of careful selection you should be able to get some lighter coloured iroko which is a reasonable match for teak.
The dust is horrid stuff, very peppery small and irritating to the respiratory tract, so I always wear a mask. It takes a danish oil finish well, which would be fine for interior use, and less hassle to apply than varnish.
