Hand Carved Tree of Life Door – HC7701
The Tree of Life is carved in deep, multi-plane high relief, capturing the eternal cycle of creation. Its roots intertwine with the earth below, while the branches reach heavenward — a timeless symbol of growth, family, and spiritual continuity.
Each leaf and root is sculpted by hand, layer upon layer, until the entire composition feels alive — a dimensional sculpture carved “in the round.” Shadows and highlights shift throughout the day, revealing the artistry of true old-world craftsmanship.
Description
4-Inch Solid Wood Masterpieces — Built to Last Forever
Each of these monumental entrance doors is hand-carved from a single 4-inch-thick slab of naturally air-cured solid timber — a process that takes many years from harvest to carving. Only through patient, natural curing can wood achieve the density and resonance required for multi-level, high-relief carving, a technique impossible to reproduce in veneer or composite materials.
From the moment the tree is cut, the journey begins: years of open-air drying, followed by months of shaping, carving, and finishing by ArtFactory’s master builders and fine art carvers. The result is an heirloom door of unmatched depth, dimension, and permanence — a functional sculpture built to endure for centuries.
The 23-Stage Finishing Process
After carving, each door undergoes our proprietary 23-stage fuming, brushing, and hand-rubbing process, developed by H.J. Nick to recreate the warmth and depth of centuries-old finishes.
- The air-cured wood is first fumed, gently oxidizing the natural tannins within.
- It is then hand-brushed, burnished, and polished to reveal the wood’s organic figure.
- Over twenty proceses of oils, sealers, and waxes are hand-rubbed and cured in succession, producing a finish that penetrates deep into the wood fibers.
This is not a surface coating — it’s a living patina that matures gracefully over time, growing richer with age. And only requires oil from time to time.
H.J. Nick Certification
Every door bears the personal signature and certification seal of H.J. Nick, guaranteeing museum-quality fine art, built to exceed all structural and artistic standards.
Each piece is an original work — never mass-produced, never machine-carved — designed to become part of a lasting legacy of handcrafted American excellence.
