Distressed Knotty Alder Sliding Barn Door

Here’s a door we constructed/installed for a customer that wanted a very specific look. They showed us a picture from a hardware manufacturer’s website and wanted to make a very similar door. The door is made of new, kiln dried knotty alder and is a total thickness of 1.75″. There is a mixture of distressing and finishing techniques used. The finish itself is lacquer. The hardware came from the online supplier. The total dimension of the door is 42″x96″ and is on an 8ft track.
