1910 Door Restore

Extend it left and right by just glueing strips of poplar on each side.  since you can't run a whole door through a jointer, mostly likely you won't get a dead-joint fit.  But it's okay.  Maybe pretty close with a railsaw.
Extend it up and down.  Make sure you use biscuits or dominos as endgrain on the stiles don't have any strength in the glue-starved joints.
Bondo it smooth.  Try to do it outside of possible, the voc's are insane here.
After some sanding, and painting with oil-based Sherwin Williams paint, she's ready.

I have my reasons on why it's swinging this way and the deadbolt.
