Abstract
A method of manufacturing a door stile includes bonding a composite edge band to a first side of a core and profiling the composite edge band. The edge band includes a hollow that is defined through the composite edge band to flex when compressed into the first side of the core. Profiling the composite edge band includes removing portions of the composite edge band that define the hollows.

A method of manufacturing a door stile, the method comprising:
- bonding a composite edge band to a first side of a core, the composite edge band including a hollow defined therethrough to allow the composite edge band to flex when compressed into the first side of the core;
- and
- profiling the composite edge band such that portions defining the hollow are removed to define a final profile of the door stile.
A door stile assembly, comprising:
- a core having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
- and
- a first composite edge band bonded to the first side of the core such that the core and the first composite edge band have a generally rectangular profile, the first composite edge band having a length and including an internal hollow extending the length therethrough to allow the first composite edge band to flex when compressed into the first side the first composite edge band being configured to be profiled such that the hollow is removed.
A method of manufacturing a door stile, the method comprising:
- bonding a first composite edge band to a first side of a core, the first composite edge band including a hollow defined therethrough;
- and
- profiling the first composite edge band such that the hollow is removed to define a final profile of the door stile.
