Door Trim Continued

 After epoxying the pieces of the door trim together using the door as a guide, I added a 1/8" rabbet around the outline of the door. Given that if you slam the door hard enough it compresses the seal enough to go a bit past the frame, I didn't want the teak to take any of the impact. I also have constructed the trim around the door window. Unlike the trim around the door itself which I can clamp while the epoxy cures, the trim around the windows has to be screwed in to hold it. I used 8 drywall screws, then took them out after the epoxy cured. To cover the holes, I drilled them out with a countersink bit and put some bungs in them. I'm quite happy with the results, although some of the bungs twisted as I pounded them in and aren't perfectly aligned with the grain. I also added a second silicone seal around the window to keep water from pooling in the edges
