When it comes to fine art carved wooden entrances, at ArtFactory.com, your options are limited only by your imagination. We believe in building furniture and doors that are not something that you just use for a few years and then throw away. Building items that are disposable is a practice that is unique to the past fifty years. In the old world, when a piece of furniture was built, it was built from solid, natural materials by master craftsmen. Most importantly, it was built to last forever. Something like a solid wood entrance door would be passed down through a family for generations along with the home that was also built to last forever. With this custom carved, arched Tree of Life door, built from solid, full length timber, we have carried that tradition of built to last craftsmanship. A true modern masterpiece inspired by historic designs, and built with period correct methods and materials. Starting with a concept provided by one of our clients, our designers, carvers, and woodworkers created an amazing piece of art rich in history and mythological significance.

This type of product cannot be built overnight, or with low quality materials. That is why we use the highest quality, full length, solid wood. Then we build it by hand, using the age old, tried and tested method of mortise and tenon joineryThis type materials and construction makes for a product that will stand the test of time. This door is carved with a multi-level, high relief process that creates both positive and negative reliefs. All of our wood carvers are classically trained in the old world methods of fine art carving. To be recognized as certified fine art, all carvings must be in the same hand technique. That is why our products are never gang carved, CNC machined, or carved using any type of fast process. This assures that each door is a unique, one-of-a-kind work of fine art. These details are especially relevant in the eyes of appraisers when judging a piece as fine art. This is a single door in a pre-hung solid wood jamb as pictured, but can be built as double doors or with any number of other options. All of our custom door designs are available with or without optional viewing windows, speakeasy portals, sidelights, transoms, or anything else you can imagine. Furthermore, although this is a full arched topped design as pictured, like all of our custom entrances, it can be built with a semi-arched, or flat top, and for residential or commercial, interior or exterior use.
