Question
all the books i read show how to make raised panels doors but none show how to make board wide or glue two boards together
Raul,
It's not too difficult to make a wide board. Make sure you have a clean, square edge on the pieces of wood you will be gluing together - that way, your glue joint will hold up well.
Apply glue to the edge - an opaque coat of it to one side of the wood joint, and put the boards together. Add clamps to hold the wood together, at least one clamp every six inches along the wood joint. When the glue is dry (the next day, usually) scrape the glue drips off the wood, and plane the board flat. You can use a hand plane, or a power planer.
It's very easy to do, but you need clean edges, good glue, and lots of clamps. Good luck, write back if you need more help.
