First welcome to TPW Dave. Happy you found us. I think you'll enjoy hanging around and sharing what's going on in your shop and life as well as the donuts:P.

Do you have any pictures of the frame and exactly how/where it seems to be warped? Also wood species? Warped or bowed in the rails or stiles?

Any and all additional information and pictures would be greatly helpful to give you the best possible solution(s).

Glad you're here and let any of us know how we can help improve your visits!

Dave,

Welcome to the forums.   Have another question about the door; any idea how/what caused it to warp in the first place?   Age, humidity, left in the shed?   Do you have a flat (very flat) workbench on which to lay it out and do some measurements for how much out of flat the door is?
