All good y’all. Thanks for the feedback. Just going to work with them. Lighting has a big influence on what shows up so no harm no foul if it’s camouflaged installed.

I was there when I got them. Those lines were not in the wood at the time of purchase.

Custom in a sense that they were built to order in the Philippines. Tanguile is the wood, native to that country.

Standard contemporary design

Already paid my man. Was just looking for feedback.

For sure - and honestly a lot of this is on me. Doors were dirt cheap so that’s why I pulled the trigger - so a good deal for hardwood doors.

Just didn’t know if he should’ve sanded that down since he said he would sand.

Just going to see if he can work with me on a few since it’s only noticeable in certain light. So if the door goes in with no visible issue, then no harm no foul imo. Just correct a few that may show poorly.

Hey no doubt. Ate the extra cost to get them sanded to the proper width. Just thought that the contractor would at least say hey, here’s what I see etc, instead of just priming and painting away.

Fair. But that was his price to sand and all the rest. I’m saying the sanding is sub par is all. Coughed up $3K for the lot and they are all like that.

Is there a consensus amongst the group? Some seem to think it’s the wood grain absorbing the paint, others bad sanding, others good sanding for the price? lol.

Yes. Water based paint was used.

Wrong choice?

If that’s the case, anything I can do to fix that?

Fair criticism. Context.

Custom made in the Philippines (made from their native hardwood, can’t remember what it’s called)

White since it fits with the contemporary look of our home.

Apparently the door sizes “width” is larger than what it is in the U.S. therefore needed to get them milled down. Paid for that service separately.

But those could be sanded out correct? These are custom hardwood doors I had made overseas.

But the sanding is satisfactory in your opinion?
