Easily done with the right tools and some templates, if needed.  A good
measuring tape and bits of string also help.  :-))

The big pic in the middle one could tweak and enlarge to full size,
paste it onto 1" ply, and get to work with a scroll saw. Drum sand the
cut edges, and with ply one would need to fill the edge chips and
either paint it all or stain it all dark. Would be a long project, but
beautiful when done!

We look at these things and dream - I made one. Not a door, something
else. Took me over a year of occasional doing, but was very pleased
when it was done! It can be done.

For the non master craftsmen among us, and those without a lifetime,
sheet ply is way faster than carving each wood piece by hand. By
looking for designs that one can do with existing skills, much is
accesible.
