Our Front Entry Door

Gary and Debi have looked through many websites on the Internet to try and find the "perfect" front door for a log cabin. Most doors were way out of our price range, or just didn't have the exact look we wanted. We had stumbled across a website via eBay that had a carved wood door made by a wildlife woodcarver living in Springville, Utah, but we couldn't find his website address later when we needed it.


When we were visiting Debi's family during the Thanksgiving holidays, Debi's nephew, Brent (age 16), used his computer expertise to search websites and find "Stacey Mitchell"--the woodcarver we'd been looking for. We contacted Stacey immediately and met with him that very day. He lives less than two miles from Debi's sister, Denise! We were able to visit his home and studio and saw some of the work he does.


We were very impressed with his work and we commissioned Stacey to carve the top panel on our front door. We wanted a door that is 42" wide to accommodate our front entryway. Stacey saw no problem meeting our quirky demands: A knotty alder wood species; 42" wide, 80" tall door; arch-shape on top of the panel; the word "Welcome" carved on the center part of the door (between the two panels); and a carving of a pine forest and a mountain stream. This is a photo Stacey sent to us yesterday that shows the beginning of the door. He should be finished in a few weeks. We are very excited!
