Here’s a photo of the hollow core “frame and veneer” doors. In the background, on the bench, you can see the rabbet that was around the door. You can also see some white paint that was on some of the doors. That stuff was really hard to remove. It took the burr off my scraper in just a couple passes. In the end, I had to use abrasive paper to attack the paint, but then could switch to a scraper.
The door isn’t completely hollow. There were one or two cross pieces to stiffen the veneer. You can see one (it is subtle) in the photo hiding in the shadow inside the cut-open panel. It was clear they just shoved cut off material from the framing work into the panels.
