Hand Carved Alder Wood Entry Door

I originally created this hand carved door and sidelight panel combination some 12 years ago for my next door neighbor’s home, here in Northern California. This is alder wood, backed by marbled glass. Scroll the photos for a better view…

The idea is that light shines through the carving, creating a warm glow, but the marbled glass obscures the view, preserving privacy on the inside.

It’s fun to see it again after all these years.

I’ve been a full-time traditional woodcarver (100% hand work) for 47 years. 32 of those years as a Disney artist.
