Lion Door

The "Lion of Judah" Hand-Carved Entry Door

A Masterpiece of Strength, Faith, and Artisan Craftsmanship

Embrace the spirit of the wild with a door that captures the powerful essence of nature, featuring a beautifully carved lion amidst a natural, rustic wood backdrop.

At our workshop, every custom hand-carved wood door is a unique work of art, crafted with passion and precision to bring your vision to life. We specialize in transforming your favorite animals or scenes into stunning, functional entrances that blend natural beauty with timeless craftsmanship. Whether you’re envisioning a majestic kudu standing guard or a graceful nyala in a serene landscape, our process ensures each door is tailored to your style and home. Here’s how we make it happen, step by step:

1. Your Inspiration: Share Your Vision

It all begins with you. Clients from around the world send us photos of animals, wildlife, or personal motifs they love—captured in the wild, from a safari adventure, or even a cherished memory. These images serve as the foundation for your custom door. No detail is too small; we work with high-resolution photos to capture the essence of the subject, from the curve of a horn to the texture of fur. This personal touch ensures your door tells your story.

2. Design and Sketch: Bringing Ideas to Paper

Once we receive your photo, our skilled designers create detailed sketches, adapting the image to fit the door’s dimensions and style. We consider factors like scale (typically 36″ x 80″ for standard single swing doors, but fully customizable), composition, and integration of elements like trees, bushes, and terrain for a balanced, immersive scene. This phase includes revisions based on your feedback—ensuring the design aligns perfectly with your aesthetic, whether it’s rustic, Mediterranean, modern, or grand mansion elegance. Our sketches are more than blueprints; they’re the blueprint for artistry. Geneally, you are completely involved in design and create your own door throughout the whole processes.

3. Hand-Carving and Construction: Crafted with Care

With the approved sketch in hand, our master carvers bring the design to life using premium hardwoods like rich mahogany or durable teak. Each element is meticulously hand-carved in relief, creating depth and realism that pops from the door’s surface. We incorporate high-quality glass panels for light and visibility, paired with secure hardware for everyday functionality. The entire build is done in our workshop, where traditional techniques meet modern precision—resulting in a door that’s not just beautiful, but built to last generations. From initial cuts to final polishing, every step is infused with dedication to quality.

4. Finishing and Delivery: Ready for Your Home

After carving, we apply protective finishes to enhance the wood’s natural grain and guard against the elements. Your door undergoes rigorous quality checks before being carefully packaged and shipped worldwide. Installation is straightforward, and we provide guidance to ensure it fits seamlessly into your space—whether as the grand entrance to a mountain log cabin, a sleek modern home, or a luxurious mansion. What sets us apart? Our doors aren’t mass-produced; they’re bespoke creations that celebrate nature’s wonders. Clients rave about the lifelike details and how these doors become conversation pieces, adding character and value to any property.
