The Modern Front Entry door was designed for a Mid-Century modern house in Rochester Michigan. The door is crafted in solid African Mahogany and finished in a rich semi-transparent Mocha stain the shows the grain of the wood.
The door is crafted to the finest quality, it features traditional mortise and tenon construction. The raised door panels were all cut from the width of single boards with no glue ups. The door panels are double panel construction which allows for the interior and exterior panels to move independently.

This beautifully crafted Neo-Classic entry door is made in solid Quarter Sawn White Oak. The doorcase is 2 3/8″ thick and fitted with six (6) raised panel assemblies on the exterior and six (6) on the interior. The double panel construction is to allow the interior and exterior of the door panel assemblies to expand and contract at different rates as the temperature varies in each environment.
The door frame is traditional mortise and tenon construction and assembled using West System Epoxy. The center section of the raised panels were resawn then booked matched to create a dynamic pattern and are surrounded by two sets of classical moldings. The door was finished using natural MinWax stain followed by a thinned down epoxy primer and top coated with Epifanes Varnish.
The Custom Oak entry door and flanking sash windows were designed and custom made for a 1905 House located in Traverse City, Michigan. The design of the door was based on the existing pair of doors at the front of the house. The doors are part of a new rear entry porch and mudroom designed by Ekocite Architecture of Royal Oak, MI for this important historic house. The door is 90″ H x 36″ W x 2.25″ thick.
The design of the beveled glass window is based on the existing front door. The door case is mortise and tenon construction and double panel construction below the lock rail. The exterior panel is rift cut Red Oak selected for its dimensional stability. The interior panels are cut and carefully grain matched across the door system from a wide plank of figured Red Oak. The architectural and construction details of the door and sash windows are based on existing millwork in this historical home. The antique mortise door lock that matches the existing front door lock I found in Los Angles Architectural salvage shop.
