This is a custom order and will take 4 - 6 weeks to make. I can also send you a file of doors we have in stock.

We have a door finisher who is very good and if you want us to stain the doors we will give you a price.  Usually between $500 for a single door up to $1000 for a double door. You will need to choose a Minwax oil penetrating stain color and he will buy it and stain. This is separate from the work order and we collect this up front to give to the finisher. He will stain and clear coat.

The finisher will sand the wood with 220 grit sand paper. Apply oil penetrating stain and sealer and sand with 400 grit. A coat of poly and sand with 600 grit. Another coat of poly and sand with 1000 grit and then apply wood oil with UV protection.

“Unusual doors often take you to the unusual worlds!” 

― Mehmet Murat ildan

Doors create a magnificent first impression.  Yours can go beyond being a simple entry way to 

one that reflects your personality and adds character and warmth. We use solid old growth 

reclaimed Doug Fir lumber 40 - 100 years old gleaned from demolished houses, barns and businesses. 

 Mid century all lumber was original growth and only rough sawn at the mill so a 2 X 4 was a full 2” X 4”. 

After that the wood was planed down or surfaced four sides so that it becomes a 1-1/2 X 3-1/2”. 

In some cases the wood can be hundreds of years old and could have been even older 

before it was used in the structure it was found in. Knowing the age helps determine the 

wood’s density and how well it stands up to the process of reclaiming it. From simple to 

elaborate our rustic doors can provide you with the look, personality and mood you want.

No two doors can ever be exactly alike. The defects are naturally made and are random and will 

vary board to board. 

Natural characteristics are knots of different sizes, variations in color, grain swirl, wormholes, pin holes.

This is part of the charm of using reclaimed lumber. 

You can request a very rustic look with the natural nail holes, hail marks, 

weathered by storms, pin holes, termite holes from long ago critters that no 

longer inhabit these doors or you can ask that we choose less rustic wood.

Most of our doors are deeply influenced by castle doors from England, Spain and Italy. 

Built from solid reclaimed Doug Fir wood our arched wrought iron 

hand forged pounded pieces you see decorating our doors giving a charm and uniqueness 

only limited by imagination.

Our niche is using very old kiln dried wood to make rustic doors. 

If you want your door to look like brand new wood in a rustic style then tell us and 

we will use brand new wood. Otherwise, you are getting a piece of history.

We use Doug Fir that is solid reclaimed lumber and we can choose wood

 that is less rustic and sanded smooth for a less rustic look or choose wood that has a more rustic quality. 

You can decide.

The doors are made in America by our talented artisans in our warehouse here in San Diego. 

When we purchase the wood from a third generation demolition company here in California 

our guys pull out any nails and metal embedded in the wood, give the wood a good cleaning and 

sand old paint off of the wood so that you will get the finish that you desire. One of the reasons

 you are using reclaimed lumber is to highlight the wood’s aged beauty. Once the carpenters 

have removed all unnatural blemishes from the wood it is now a canvas for your finishing process.

Each piece of wood is unique and is used to create unique doors and windows. 

Each beam is like a historical artifact and every one has it’s own story. Your door 

had a life before it came to you and it may have had a life before that. 

It could have been in a farmhouse dating back to colonial America or on a

 wall in a Duke’s palace in Italy.  There is something special about being able to say

 that your door offers character shaped from it’s previous life.

 There is not a way to get a wood as characterized as reclaimed wood.

 This old wood is unique in color variation more than anything you

 can get from a lumber company that sells virgin wood.

Doug Fir is a very good choice because it naturally resists most kinds of 

weathering without a lot of paint or product. Old growth wood is better in every way. 

It has already experienced the weather and time and has multiple color tones because of the weather. 

The amount of time a board was exposed to rain and sunlight and other environmental factors often 

dictates the exact color of the finished product. Old growth Doug Fir tends of have a tight grain 

pattern that is quite coveted. This means the actual grain of the wood is in a smaller pattern 

than other wood types. This leads to durability. The beauty of this wood is minimal care after installation.

This old growth Doug Fir has a ton of character elements that are not there in new wood pieces. 

Old nail holes from use, worm damage and more all adds to the character of the barn wood.

Last but not least is choosing reclaimed lumber is a sustainable option that reduces deforestation 

thus helping to protect the eco system. Instead of cutting down new trees this is a great 

way to repurpose wood that has already been in use. Not only a good choice but a beautiful choice.
