    Where can i get it?

    i would use a drying wax that can be polished off, sometimes clean beforehand with thinners to remove resins. the liquid sprays do tend to soak into the wood.

    Yep... It's another workshop. Guttering

    Mounting hooks on the wall and packing behing the bands to get the door inline with the frame will create a greater swing away effect at the meeting stile, you will need a greater gap, or a tapered rebate to negate this. (as the door opens it moves towards the other door)

    A real Noahs ark?

    My initial thoughts were there is very little skill in a computer milled frame, but then it would be a big waste of skilled labour otherwise.... It'd be worthwile if it actually floated like a wooden freighter. Dissapointing its just a structure.
