A friend passed along these collections of wonderful entryways, mostly from Belgium. There are more but I didn't want to overwhelm.

Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

I really like those. It's great to see some quirky designs rather than them all just looking the same.
We visited Cyprus a few years ago and as part of the trip we went to Lefkosia (the Turkish half of Nicosia... well, strictly speaking the Turkish name for Nicosia). I took loads of photos of doors when we there as they were really interesting and varied in a similar way to those Belgian ones. Unfortunately, it was before cameras that automatically uploaded to the internet and I can't find the photos at the moment

These are great. Post some more please, particularly if you have a collection from Helsinki, Finland. Is this inspiration for a door you’re planning on building?

No, I'm not making one but my friend might be if he can figure out how to do all the swooped and curvy bits.
Here are a couple more:

Lovely. Thanks. Sounds like your friend should do a WIP on here.

Aren't they fantastic?!
Last weekend we were in the Old Quarter of Limoges, there were some fancy doorways there, too.

That’s a Lot of doors, it must have taken quite a while to find them all, staggering that they’re all different too.
I might be maligning the Belgians, but I always thought they were a bit staid, but obviously they’ve had their moments!

I'd love to see some working drawings showing details of joints and something to demonstrate how you go from flat square stock to all those sinuous curves.
Anyone got any old Belgian joinery textbooks?
