Saloon doors

Sometimes you just want to do something else than stain or chink or code. So I picked a fun project.
Nothing more Wild West than saloon doors, right?
with two sets of double hinges and again some left over cedar wood,
I came up with these:

The shape is inspired by the bar, and created with a dinner plate as a template for the curves.
I still have to tweak them a little, as the sides hit each other in the center, but they do function; you simply push in the direction you want to go and they swing back to the closed position afterwards. Also, they need to be stained and sanded really smooth, to make it easy to “walk through” the doors,
without the wood catching your clothing.
Now someone can walk from the bedroom to the bathroom butt naked and all private parts would be well covered by the doors.
