Cut the rabbet on the backside of the door using a rabbeting bit in your router table. With a large tabletop such as this, it's simple work. Glue one backing strip into the rabbet in the door on edge. Then flip the door over and glue a mullion onto the backing strip. Then use spring clamps to hold everything while the glue dries. But before getting mired in those details, you need to assemble the doors. Here's how they work: The stiles and rails are joined using mortise-and-tenon joints. For mid-size doors such as these, I use 3/8"-thick x 1"-long tenons. Cut your tenons and your mortises, then mill a VV-wide x deep groove in the rails and stiles to hold the door panel. I generally make this groove on the rout er table using a straight bit and featherboards. It's the easiest way to make the groove start and stop in the right place in the stiles. The door panel needs a rabbet on its back to fit in the groove. But before you mill the panel, you should know a bit about spalted maple. Its black spidery lines are caused by the spalt fungus, which attacks the tree after it's been felled. In short, it's partly rotted.
