Default Walnut Rear Gate Door Panel Custom Handle

Well finally got my winter project completed. I had a roll of Walnut Veneer around my woodshop and decided it would be cool to match the walnut interior up from with a rear Walnut panel. It is held on the gate with epoxied rare earth magnets. I ditched the Christmas tree panel pins. I think it looks great and has a copper pipping recessed trim on the ends to add to the rich look. When the pictures were taken it was not flat against the door yet. I also added the Dyno mat style dampening inside the door for the sub. It sounds great. I finished it in Arm-A-Seal wipe on Oil-Urathan

Boss, now what you have to do is add some wood to the exterior making it a 4x4 off road woody wagon.

I think Walnut door handles are next on the customization list. They would be a bit mor complicated, but not too hard. Too bad the entire door panel much be removed in order to remove the door panel. I tried removing all the srews but they will not come loose.

Not as bad as I expected...now, if I can recall what I learned in Coach Adams' wood shop class in 10th grade, I might have a chance, LOL
