moremarbles4me Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Several monhs ago Cathy Runyan(the marble lady) entered a design the door of your dreams contest. The contest was put on by Simpson which is a well known maker of custom doors. Needless to say she won. Her husband Larry asked me to install it for them. I had to trim it to fit their current door opening, hinge it, drill it and last night put the final coat of finish on it. Three of the marbles are panels of glass with hundreds of peewee marbles sandwiched between. This is one of the coolest door designs I have ever seen.

Ric Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 That is really cool! I'm noticing the deadbolt cutout, is it an exterior door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Racer Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Unusual project and easy to see how it won first prize. Anything is possible if you use your marbles. At first I thought that was a three eyed longhorn, then realized it was a marble bag! LOVE IT!!! Which side are you facing out? Don't forget a screen door to help protect that beauty.

Al Oregon Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Wow, cool door. I can see why they won. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moremarbles4me Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Yeah they still live underground. The marbles face out and I bought marine grade finish so the door is well protected. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipocritter Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Their house is really neat- and safe from midwest storms. Ah, Marine Grade fiinsh too. I'm sure your installation work will be as good as the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
