Method of making flush door skins and assembled doors, and universal master boards for the same

摘要

Disclosed is a method of converting universal master boards into flush door skins having different assortments of simulated wood grain patterns. The method includes the steps of providing a plurality of universal master boards which each have an expansive surface. Each expansive surface has a graphic design of at least first depressions and second depressions in at least first and second surface regions, respectively. The first depressions are substantially parallel to one another and substantially aligned in a first direction to simulate a first wood grain pattern in the first surface region. The second depressions are substantially parallel to one another and substantially aligned in a second direction that is different than the first direction to simulate a second wood grain pattern in the second surface region. The plurality of universal master boards including at least first and second universal master boards. The method includes the steps of cutting the first universal master board at a first location to form a first flush door skin having a first exterior surface with a first assortment of simulated wood grains comprising at least one pattern selected from the group consisting of the simulated first wood grain pattern and the simulated second wood grain pattern. The method includes cutting the second universal master board at a second location which does not correspond to the first location to form a second flush door skin having a second exterior surface with a second assortment of simulated wood grains comprising at least one pattern selected from the group consisting of the simulated first wood grain pattern and the simulated second wood grain pattern. The second assortment of simulated wood grains is different from the first assortment of simulated wood grains.
