I had built my own doors. I had CAD files and had the 3 sheets that made up the doors CNC'd, although the sections could also be cut out using power tools (jig saw, band saw, etc.). I can suggest establishing the door opening in your cabin body first and then figuring out what kind of moldings would be used on both the cabin opening and the door opening, figuring what weather stripping gaskets you'll be using, how much clearance you'll need..... and kind of working your way back to the actual door dimensions. Also keep in mind the wood may move a little (swell or contract with the seasons) when figuring your clearance. If I had to do it again, I'd again make my own doors, especially if they are a certain (special) shape and not a standard shape.
