I recently bought a special cutter for my shaper. This allows me to offer 5 new profiles for my panels. I have so far only used 2 of these which are shown in the poplar and pine examples which follow. I intend to post the others once I have made some prototypes.
=======================
This pine door will be finished with milk paint and installed in the shop cabinet I am currently making for myself. This is one of my preferred profiles.

Next, another popular profile. This door was treated first with potassium dichromate to prepare it for a dark custom stain. Then it was sprayed with 1 coat of sealer, sanded lightly and then sprayed with clear lacquer.

Another popular profile. Solid maple, stained, sealed and lacquered (spray).

Another special treatment for this flat panel within a solid poplar frame. Sprayed with a white base (2 coats), then glazed as shown, then sealed and lacquered. More labour intensive, but a very appealing result.

The door below is solid ash, stained and finished with 3 coats of wiping varnish. Lovely grain patterns here.
