Conventional wood doors are subject to warp and rain induced deterioration. Metal over wood always seemed flimsy to me - like you could kick a hole in one.
The door above is 2x6 rectangle steel 1/8" thick. It is laying on a 1000 lb. 1/2" thick layout table bought for that purpose.
When in Rome....
Paint? No way. The doors go to the powder coater next week.
