The door is split where the top hardware is for mounting to the top of the door frame and the split runs down about 12". Would need to repair very well so as to support the door (95" tall, solid oak-original stain on it).

I work with antique millwork using period tools so my suggestions are most relevant if you are repairing 19th century doors. You have two options. One, you can disassemble the door by removing one stile from the rails. This works if they are joined using mortise and tenon joints. If the glue is hide glue, you can soften it with heat or crystallize it with alcohol and remove the stile, replace the panel and glue it back up with hide glue. Two, you can replace the panel without disassembling the door. To do this you need to remove the old panel by cutting or sawing it into pieces. Then deepen the groove that the panel rests in with a chisel. Do this only at the top and along one side. Once the groove is deepened you will be able to install a new panel, but the panel will have to be installed in two pieces and glued together in place. I would then tack it with a small brad on one top corner to keep the panel from moving too far and exposing any gap.Historic Design Consulting LLC.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06764011546409378801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747579207837149281.post-71773031714832469412010-11-27T20:16:09.493-06:002010-11-27T20:16:09.493-06:00So, how do you replace the panel if necessary?

This is especially true in this case since the panels are stained, old-growth pine with years of patina. Matching the stain and finish can be a tough job as is removing and replacing the panels. Replacing them is an option but, in my opinion, is the last one.Historic Design Consulting LLC.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06764011546409378801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747579207837149281.post-4045825316522255832010-06-30T13:13:41.491-05:002010-06-30T13:13:41.491-05:00Cant you just replace the panel ?
