On an old house (100 years plus) I use to have (or rather, it had me) the screen doors and storms were made with bridal joints and then pegged - that could be easily done with straight cut bits as Mike was suggesting - and the look may just be in keeping with how I picture an adobe house - although it sounds like you may be wanting to get away from traditional materials - just a thought anyway!

Gilbear, what is a bridal joint? .
I guess you could say it's a variation of a mortise and tennon joint - see attached image - the door I was referring to also had 2 pegs that were driven all the way through at each corner - I liked the look and it was a strong joint - however, I've never made an exterior door myself.
