Description
🌲 Solid 4-Inch Thick, Natural Air-Cured Cedar Cypress Fortress Door
This heirloom-quality masterpiece is handcrafted from solid 4-inch thick, naturally air-cured cedar cypress wood. Built using traditional mortise, tenon, peg, and dowel joinery by our in-house master craftsmen, each door is engineered to last forever.
Constructed with the same materials and techniques once used to build doors for castles, manor houses, and palacesacross the Old World, these fortress doors were originally designed to defend their occupants from warring factions and endure the harshest climates. They remain a timeless symbol of strength, elegance, and legacy.
Each door is meticulously hand-carved to world-class fine art standards. Our furniture-grade wood is cut and cured for several years using natural processes before undergoing our proprietary finishing methods. Finishes are fumed or hand-applied, allowing deep penetration into the grain. The surface is then hand-rubbed through multiple stages of curing until the desired patina is achieved.
This artisanal approach allows the wood to breathe and accept natural oils or waxes, making the door impervious to the elements. No matter the exposure, your door will never require refinishing.
The result: A world-class entryway that stands as one of the most desirable and enduring handcrafted doors in the world.
