Q To begin the muntin section of the doors, cut three horizontal V4" x V2" backer strips to divide the glass area into four horizontal rectangles. The fit should be snug, but not so tight as to bow the frame. Glue the backer piece into the rabbet area and clamp until dry. Flip the door over.Then install the two vertical 3/4"-wide x V4" face pieces that divide the glass into three vertical rectangular sections. These are glued to the first three backer strips at the intersections, but left loose at the edges of the frame for now. This technique is covered in more detail in the August 2002 issue of Popular Woodworking.

I used my table saw to mill the one-piece, bold crown moulding (as shown at right), then created a molded edge on both the top and bottom edges before final sanding. If this is a new technique to you, it is detailed in issue #117 of Popular Woodworking, or you can simply purchase a suitable pre-made crown moulding.

Next, cut the crown to length, fitting it to the upper case, and attach it using square-head reproduction nails.When finished, cut reinforcement blocks and install them between the face frame and the crown.
