Among the most popular styles of doors that we offer are Western and Craftsman doors, and this Western Craftsman Custom Door offers the best of both worlds. The door features a one-of-a-kind, hand carving on and around the speakeasy portal with what can be described as a Western style rope carving around the edge of the portal, with Arts and Crafts movement inspired floral acanthus leaf carvings on the portal door itself. This carving is a tremendous example of the work that can be done by our master wood carvers. Like all of our hand carved wood doors, the Western Craftsman Custom Door features a one-of-a-kind design, carved directly into the wood, that will never be exactly reproduced. Intricate details, such as, individual leaves, are the type of details that can only be included on a truly, hand carved item and cannot be replicated with any type of machine. The vertical planked design and decorative iron clavos on the lower third of the door blade add to the Western aspect of this door's design. This entrance is the kind of unique masterpiece that is quickly recognizable worldwide as the work of H.J. Nick.

The difference between our carved doors and those that you find at big box retailers is in the detail.In other words, we take the extra time to carve in details such as the unique, individually crafted shapes, so that no two are alike, just as you would see in nature. This is done to ensure that your carving is as realistic looking as possible. You can also personalize your carving in any way that you wish. This includes adding your name, company or club logo, the likeness of your pets, or anything else you can dream of. Remember, at ArtFactory.com, our ability to design and build custom doors is limited only by your imagination. Furthermore, the oak branch door pulls, which are the final Arts and Crafts element of the Western Craftsman Custom Door's design, are individually hand hammered into shape by our master blacksmiths from genuine wrought iron, over a coal fired forge, as are the decorative clavos. Each of these hardware items is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece that stands on its own as a work of fine art.
