These doors feature Juniper's rich, deep color and large, swirling grain patterns. The wood also includes distinctive knots, splits and other character marks that give each door a customized look. Over time the grain will darken, and the markings will gradually appear more pronounced. And this quality will infuse any entrance or passage with dynamic beauty.

Juniper can be a threat to plant and animal life within native forests and grasslands, because it quickly consumes large amounts of water. It has also been typically seen as a throwaway wood. Therefore, using Juniper to make IWP Custom Wood doors helps to not only prevent waste, but also preserve vital ecosystems.

To bring out the wood species' unique, rustic characteristic, we offer textural options for our Juniper doors.

Handhewn
This texture adds the look of weatherworn waves to our doors, and it is our least pronounced texture. To create it, we plane channels of various sizes into the smooth surface of a door's stiles, rails and panels. The areas between the smooth surface and channels are then hand-sanded for a visually pleasing transition between the different surface depths.

Distressing Levels
Our distressed textures give doors an aged, Old World appearance. After applying the same techniques used to create our handhewn texture, we use chisels and other hand tools to apply random worm holes and additional character marks to the door's stiles, rails, panels and mouldings. To accentuate these marks, we recommend our new blackened antique finish.

Wire Brushed
Doors with this texture feature a charming, uneven apperance. We achieve this look by running the wood through a wire brushing wheel (in the direction of the grain).

Hammering
This textural option gives doors a truly rustic and timeworn appearance. In fact, it's our roughest and most rustic surface texture.

We offer Juniper as a wood species for Custom Wood Estate Collection exterior doors and interior doors. A range of finishes are also available; contact your local dealer for details.
