DIY custom made door

Hello,

I've a small store right by the entrance of the house that is covered by a tatty door made from cardboard (without a handle) by the previous owner.

I want to install a proper door there that looks good too.

But the dimensions of the opening are quite unique. Its 2100mm by 420mm.

Can someone please advise what would be the best way & material to carve a door of this size?

Any links/ pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help in advance..

    There's videos on youtube that show you how to build various styles of doors. Take a look there
    Some people don't exaggerate........... They just remember big!

    If its just for a small store cupboard, just build a simple ledge and braced door out of planks - no carving required;) lol.

    You can buy an external grade 'blank' which is an over sized door that can be cut down to size. Can be had from places like Howdens.
