I just couldn't find that at a quality I wanted so made it myself. I was able to make an insulated lower panel too so that was another reason to go custom. Of course that whole project was on my partners place so I couldn't recommend it purely on budget.
I did use a hardwood instead of pine because I don't have a good supplier of pine.
Eventually after dealing with all sorts of doors for many years I started to resist changing doors for clients, especially exterior ones. I guess that's just me wanting to deliver top results but knowing it's too expensive for most of my clients.

I do have a carpenter who has a Howdens account however they don't do the style I'm after. I want flat panels with moulding and they only do profiled panels. I'm after rail and stile, probably in pine, not press moulded. Basically a decent repro of an original door, without the pain of collecting a pile of old doors in shit condition and refurbing them.
