I went running, then ran errands, worked on the book a whole bunch, put up the old iron hinges and the door knocker, worked on the book some more, made dinner, worked on the book some more.
The outside of the door has the lion's head door knocker. The inside has these huge, heavy old hinges that we repurposed. It's the best we could do to make the door look like it dates from 500-600+ years ago...without actually going full-on historic reproduction. We just don't have the tools, time, or materials to hand-hew planks from old-growth timber. Yeah. So this is our compromise. Not bad for a repurposed hardwood countertop!
