Wood questions

Hello ,
I'm looking for doors and i did see allready some shops making them . The problem i have is that i want mai daeng ( xylia xylocarpa/pyinkado ... ) and i would prefer recycled wood as it does not warp , bent , shrink etc .
Now , where do i find recycled wood ? Can i bring it to the shop and let them make doors out of it ? Or should i just go with what they have ?
Since this is the Udon forum , i am talking about Udon area , but if it is a bit further away , you can tell me also . THX .

You might try the wood factory between kilo 20 and kilo 21 on the Udon-Nongbualamphu highway, right hand side as you're heading to NBLP. We bought a china cabinet from them......high quality dried wood. As I recall, they had doors on display there as well.

do not make it to complicated, many doors in global house , real wood and not real, as you see all the doors the home builders are using ,they do not shrink and are of course cheap, between 500- 1200 bath, maay daeng not easy to find , same like the doors i have in my home in maay makaa,or like parrot says , try the many udon wood shops....
( next to bridge big c ? ) good luck....

Making it complicated ...
Well , outside doors ( i mean frames with glass ) need to be made to order . Glass , no problem . Wood no problem as long as it is mai yang ( rubberwood ) which is basically termitefood . Then we have mai takian , which is not bad wood but since it hosts a ghost it is a nono . Mai sak or teak , also pretty easy to find but overexpensive and beside that i do not like it's color for doors .
So what we have left in Thailand which should be easily available and not too expensive .
Mai doo ... very nice color but more expensive then mai daeng
mai teng .. cheaper then mai doo/daeng/makha but color is more familiar with teak . Quality is questionable since i hear different stories about it . ( national tree for Udon ) .
mai makha ...more expensive then daeng
mai daeng fits all my requirements as for hard wood , usable outside or where you want ( they use it to make waterstructures !) very nice color and should be reasonably priced .

OT found an easy way to tell if a solid core timber door will stay in shape and not crack - lift up the door and if it's damn heavy you know it'll be ok. When you get the carpenter to fit the door make sure he uses a pair and half (3) hinges when he hangs it in the frame or it will pull off the hinges if it flys open. Get decent ironmongery including door stop as well. OT got his fom Global a few years ago and they have all stayed perfect except for the dinks where the kids have skateboarded into them. One other thing, a clear varnish looks better than painting them in my opinion.

OT...........

Clear varnish or even oil looks always better then paint . However , if your wood isn't a nice one , you have to use paint to make it look decent .
The weight of the door only tells you it is wood but not if it is decent dried wood . Wet wood in general is a lot havier then dry wood. Wet wood will dry over time and depending on the kind of wood , it might shrink a lot or start to bend . If it is dried properly and decend quality in general , then the chances are a lot slimmer ( but not 100% ).
All doors will be sliding , Hafele equiped , so i'm pretty sure about the quality ( part nr's are make in weightclass , so if it falls lower then max allowed you are fine ) .
